REAL name

i'm watching X2 right now, and Eric Lensherr/Magneto was talking to one of the kids...

Magneto: What's your name?
Kid: John
Magneto: What's your real name, John?
*pause*
John: Pyro

one of the most fascinating things to me about heaven is the fact that we will get a stone on it with our real name on it.

To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it. (Revelation 2:17)

it's fascinating to me because so many times i don't feel like i'm being myself. i'm not being all i could be, i'm not being true to myself.
and since our names are related to who we are, especially in some other cultures, my new name will help me discover who i was truly made to be.

in x2, the mutants were not allowed to be themselves when they were living at home. they had to go by the name their parents gave them and hide their gifts. but when they discover their gifts and how best to use them, they get a name based on their gifts. a name that tells more about who they really are.

i wonder what my name will be.
