    "What's in a Name?" - another fascinating Gresham College lecture podcast

    This board often has questions about what is and is not permitted - or, even, required - in the field of names and changes to them. This lecture covers the interaction of names and the law. Prof Jane Caplan has a subtle dry humour which peaks through the clear delivery to just make sure that the topics, which she already makes interesting, can retain your attention:
    What's in a Name? More than You Might Think
    http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/whats-in-a-name-more-than-you-might-think
    <p>Why start with the personal name? &#xA0;Because we all have one: the personal name is the universal accompaniment to living in human society. Our name encapsulates our identity for ourselves and others; it is the bedrock of almost all forms of ID. Although we probably feel that our name &#x2018;belongs&#x2019; to us, names have also been the target of considerable legal regulation in certain times and places. The regulation of names in Nazi Germany will be included.</p> <p>&#xA0;</p> WebRep


    Well worth a listen if you have a spare hour.

      I'm glad you found it worthwhile. If you look on the Gresham College website, you'll see that they have a lot of lectures on a huge range of topics - given by seriously impressive people. There are podcasts for many of the past ones - and usually transcripts, if the podcasts aren't available.
