A friend and I were talking yesterday about names. Do you become your name or does your name become you?

Premise: Mary, in Jewish, means bitter.
Premise: Mary wasn’t a bitter person. She was, in fact, a better person than all of us.
Conclusion: The person who invented the name was bisaya.

I looked up the real meaning of the name and it means:

Jewish: Bitter, as in a bitterly wanted child.
Latin: The star of the sea.

So, it would seem that the name describes what the child is according to her parents.

Next idea:

Burro = an animal similar to a donkey
Burrito = Spanish: little donkey. Mexican: a dish usually consisting of a meat such as beef, chicken, or pork wrapped in a flour tortilla.

So does it follow that if I’m a little less hungry than ‘I’m so hungry I can eat a horse’ a burrito (little donkey) will fill me?
