Right now I'm writing a paper on when the people of Europe stopped naming their children meaningful words, and started simply handing down strings of syllables that have no obvious meanings (like instead of naming your daughter your words for "Beautiful", or "Battle Maiden", you call her "Catherine" or "Elizabeth" because it was her grandmother's name). I'm also writing on why they did this, and what affect it has had on us.
I was just wondering if anyone might have some thoughts on this subject?
