We don't think about it, but giving your name to someone has consequences. It's meant to. A name is more than letters that represent sounds. It's a word that defines who you are are - or maybe it's who you are that defines your name? A name invites someone to call on you, to interact with you. It's not without risk. They could curse your name. Lie about your name. Ignore your name. Consider your name inconsequential or even dangerous.
When we enter into a relationship with God, he gives us his name.
Have you given Him, yours? "That's ridiculous. Surely, the Almighty knows!" (Ominpotence) But that's not the point. God doesn't want mental assent with a creature; God wants consentual relationship with us. You could say that he'd pay any price for such a relationship.
And it all starts with a name!
