SP What’s in a name?
Alma 22: 16 “And now it came to pass that the king and those who were converted were desirous that they might have a name, that thereby they might be distinguished from their brethren; therefore the king consulted with Aaron and many of their priests, concerning the name that they should take upon them, that they might be distinguished.”

Throughout the scriptures we find significant teachings about taking upon name. Why, what’s in a name?
I suppose the significance lies in the purpose and meaning of whose name and what that name means to us. For the purpose of the Anti- Nephi-Lehi’s, they no longer wanted to be distinguished with the Lamanites; they had changed.

Can a name change us? No, but our choices and desires for taking upon that name, can.
As we take upon the most sacred name given to man, even Jesus Christ. May the love we have for Him and our desire to “take upon” ourselves His attributes and character be forever changing us, that we like the Anti-Nephi-Lehi’s have a desire to be distinguished from our old self, from the world,  that when we see Him, we will know Him, because we will be like Him and forever changed.
