A name is not a name when abandoning human relations, is when could be anything. Our name is into a language, into cultural social configuration and also of a liberty to be beyond what meaning, a form crystalized by a representation or a symbolic configuration. Is not thus like belonging only to community rules or as property - in the double significance of own and contents by use. I discuss here the way of the language by a voice divide between three characters: a child, a narrator, and a reader's thinking that involves what was by beginning a short child story that became in an literature that evince and make to bare an essay. I do not know that it was possible, and I do not think about it. The trajectory of a name like a gift, or still more, a plastic sound that invades our heart, our memory in what we think can be what we are into convolution of the cultural social relations. I thought of writing a short story that could treat a character's expectation to learn say a name, an Uncle's name. Someone stranger, different, out of the spins of the cultural significance. I look in and dares to offer to readers a desire to become a being that receives and is received.
