“Name’s important. Keeps track of who you are.”
Moses Whitecotton is completely confident that a name is an individuality of every person. Given on the birthday and during one’s life it also exists after death for a long time. You are used to your name and it has a specific meaning which describes your nation and certain character. Name accompanies you during the entire life. Everybody is born with a small name and goes through all ups and downs, making a big name and fame. Name has a big influence on our soul and life. That’s why Moses advises Novalee to give the greatest name for her daughter. Eventually, her daughter is named Americus, which means power and fortitude.
