What's in a name

I met someone named Timestocles today, i was at odds on how to pronounce it, so i decided to ask what's the story behind that name.  It turned out that it was not a family thing, i even ask if there was a junior, just in case, thankfully there was none.  There ends the line for Timestocles.  Thanks God.

It is believed that your name can shape your destiny.  This may have some ring of truth to it, but it is still up to you on how you'll manage and live your life.  If you're stuck with a not-so-nice name, don't be sad, instead make the most of what you've got and work from there.  As the saying goes, we are the  makers of our own destiny.  So no worries Timestocles, it's just a name anyway. :)
