A thematic connection between Jorje and the Power of Names is that the authors both share their experiences with their names. Both tell how they have grown to like their names through appreciation of the history of them.
Jorje and the Power of Names both show that their names mean more than just a name. In Jorje it states “There has to be more to a name than just a means of differentiating us from our fellow man.” The author is explaining that names are more than just a distinguisher and that numbers could do the same thing. The reader can infer that if names were just a distinguisher, people would use numbers or a random string of letters, but names have more meaning and can have history behind them.
