I disagree. I think persons should name themselves. But, I understand there are practicalities that require some name to be assigned by outsiders at least until the person can talk.
For things that arenât conscious or are incapable of speech, I think we collectively assign a name. Iâm fine giving higher weight to the name chosen by the âcreatorâ or âdiscoverâ, but Iâm not fine with giving them veto power / final cut.

Did you know Dr. Seuss name is actually pronounced more like Zoyce or Soice (rhymes with voice, not moose)? And he wanted people to pronounce it correctly?
Iâm actually usually unconcerned by how people pronounce things, but I think taking a manâs own name away goes a bit far.

I did know that. I donât recall pronouncing it incorrectly since learning that fact, but I donât talk about those books or their author frequently.

Oops, I worded that funky. I didnât mean to accuse you of doing that, just talking about people in general.
I just think itâs an interesting fact.
