[ WP ] Everyone has a nickname in the style of First Name `` Nick Name '' Last Name . However , they have it from birth and so many people do n't know why they have their nickname yet .

They say a name can define you. Even change your life. And the Metatron does just that. 
 
 It was the pinacle of quantam computing. Feed it a child's name, and a sample of his DNA, and it would give him another name, a name that perfectly describes who he will be: his wants, his desires, his legacy. It is his Name. 
 
 And long ago, the Elders decided that we would not be immediately christened with our Names. Instead the machine merely caches this information and, on our eighteenth birthdays, we stand before our entire community. Our DNA is fed back through, and the Metatron declares our name to all. 
 
 Today is my Naming. 
 
 Samuel Dorning is first. He stands tall and confident as he waits, his hands clasped behind him. His parents clap and cheer as he is Named `` Leader''. I'm not surprised, he's always had a presence. 
 
 Next is Pam Green, an insignificant girl who blinks quickly as she avoids the crowd's gaze. Her eyes widen as the word booms. `` Advocate'' A few onlookers murmer, but none laugh. She will grow into this name; the Metatron is never wrong. 
 
 The line grows shorter as the Names ring out, some welcome, some disappointing. `` Lover'' `` Overindulger'' `` Chronicler'' `` Deceiver'' With each one my stomach ties itself in another knot. 
 
 Finally it is my turn. I walk before the people, every eye trained on me. I shove my hands into my pockets to keep them still. The time seems to stretch to infinity. Finally a single word pierces the air. A collective gasp rises from the throng gathered, and a few scream. I see eyes narrow and fists clench, but of course no one says a word. The Metatron is never wrong. 
 
 Blood begins to thud inside my temples. I do n't understand, I want to scream. I do n't... I never... But in the end I nod to the elders, ignoring their faces, still twisted in surprise, and walk to the other side, wondering at my future. 
 
 They say a name can define you. Even change your life. But what kind of Name is `` Childkiller''?
