What’s in a name?

Judges 13:17 (NIV) Then Manoah inquired of the angel of the LORD, "What is your name, so that we may honor you when your word comes true?"

Revelation 2:17 (NIV) He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone with a new name written on it, known only to him who receives it.
