You're receiving this invitation because we've connected previously and I hope you’ll join me in a new journey I'm embarking on.
Earlier this year I launched the Museum of Names, the world's first dedicated, publicly accessible virtual museum collecting and exhibiting the multifaceted history, science, social relevance, and beauty of names. (Online only for now at www.museumofnames.com.)
I'm excited to share that I'm launching a new, occasional newsletter where we'll delve deeper into the surprising depths and lasting impact of names and also the development of the Museum itself! I'd love for you to join me.
When you opt in, expect to receive:
Fresh insights & fascinating discoveries: Like why you might want to think of your name like a technology Wake Word, and what that means for us as non-technological beings.
Heartwarming stories: Be the first to read an upcoming profile of Independence, a young Vermont woman you'll find remarkable and inspiring - and whose name story is not at all what you think.
Thought-provoking narratives: that examine how names shape ourselves and our worlds – influencing identity, culture, and society in profound ways.
For a quick taste of the unique insights and fresh perspectives you'll gain:
Have you ever considered names' extraordinary power to bring people together? From the economic driver of gathering 2,325 Ivans in Bosnia, to the subversive humor of KatieConf and the elegant nurturing tradition of the L.I.N.D.A. club, the Museum of Names dives into how shared names build communities, spark conversations, and do surprising work in the world. Does your name have a community—yet? You'll find intriguing explorations like this, and many more compelling insights, delivered right to your inbox!
I hope that you'll join me in jumping into this quirky, wonderful, and important world of wonder. Sign up below for free and don't miss a single adventure. You'll get occasional updates and can unsubscribe at any time.
Sincerely,
Kaomi Joy Taylor, MPA
Founder & Chief Namiac, the Museum of Names
