I have to admit, I suffered a lot from having this name over the years because nobody knows what to make of it or they think that it's a woman's name. But, you know, you grow into these things. And I guess by now I feel a lot of affection for it.

Well, I'd say that President Trump's always somebody who's been very sensitive to the power of names and what they mean. And he's always attached, of course, his own name to big buildings in Manhattan and Las Vegas and really around the world. And now that he's president, he has additional authority to name things that we all refer to and that we all look at and

Of course, we all know about the Gulf of Mexico and him wanting to call that the Gulf of America. And also he's renamed some military forts whose names were changed because they were the names of Confederate generals. And I do think names are about the stories we tell. You know, when we name our children, those are about... who we want them to be in the world.

And when we talk about landmarks, it's about the story of our country. And I think the story that he's trying to tell through these names is a more conservative view of America. It's one that ends up sort of downplaying minority or African-American or indigenous presences.

And so I think just as a few years ago, activists wanted to remove the names of Confederates that were on all kinds of military facilities. You know, now there's an effort to change names and tell a different story of America.

But so much of this is about identity. And the language we speak, just like the names that we have, is central to that. And I think a lot of what's going on in this country is about identity. And as we've been discussing, you know, sometimes that's the identity of an individual. And sometimes it's more of a collective identity.
