I truly believe that the phonaesthetics of your name (your given name which you acquired through the history and context of your creation, or a name which you chose for yourself by dint of some external set of factors which motivated you to do so, not any name you chose for yourself primarily for its sound) determine in a strong way your Greatness in life. Grothendieck did all that shit because his name looks and sounds so good, it has such a weight and meatiness to it both orthographically and phonetically. It’s really important to have a powerful name.
