their words can cut you, and you’ll never be free of the mockery

Names are powerful things; you should be careful whom you share yours with. You never know when a person might turn your name against you.

Don't make me do it. I'll take your name.

Don’t call me Lord Snow.”
The dwarf lifted an eyebrow. “Would you rather be called the Imp? Let them see that their words can cut you and you’ll never be free of the mockery. If they want to give you a name take it make it your own. Then they can’t hurt you with it anymore.

I think no one can give me a name that is not mine. It is me who will define me.

If you don't know who you are, anyone can name you.

Dangerous thing, a name. Someone might catch hold of you by it, mightn't they?

It is so strange - if anyone takes my name, I have the ability to make them famous.

Because it is my name! Because I cannot have another in my life! Because I lie and sign myself to lies! Because I am not worth the dust on the feet of them that hang! How may I live without my name? I have given you my soul; leave me my name!

Your good name and reputation make you who you are. Don’t give them away

If you want to make a name for yourself, make a good name.

I want to be held and told my name. I want to be valued, in ways that I am not; I want to be more than valuable. I repeat my former name; remind myself of what I once could do, how others saw me. I want to steal something.
