Seriously, what's in a name?

William Shakespeare once wrote, "What's in a name? That which we call a rose. By any other name would smell as sweet."

Today every tangible and/or intangible object has been given a name. Who truly decides that a particular person, place, or thing should be called something over another?

I want to get a job as someone who names kitchen appliances. Toaster, refridgerator, blender....all you do is say what the shiit does, and add "er". I wanna work for the Kitchen Appliance Naming Institute. Hey, what does that do? It keeps shiit fresh. Well that's a fresher....I'm going on break. -Mitch Hedberg

George Costanza, from Seinfeld, on naming his first born child 'Seven.'
Jerry: "Seven Costanza... You're serious?"
George: "Yeah. It's a beautiful name for a boy or a girl. Especially a girl... Or a boy."
Jerry: "I don't think so."
George: "What, you don't like the name?"
Jerry: "It's not a name. It's a number. Seven? Yeah, I guess I could see it. Seven. Seven periods of school, seven beatings a day. Roughly seven stitches a beating, and eventually seven years to life. Yeah, you're doing that child quite a service."
