Why choose this project topic?
Investigating how adults explain the religious meanings attached to personal names connects the academic study of religion with specific texts, institutions or lived practices. The defined evidence base lets you compare explanations carefully while preserving disagreement and internal diversity.
What can the selected evidence establish about how adults explain the religious meanings attached to personal names?
Choose the precise tradition, institution or corpus and feasible sample for how adults explain the religious meanings attached to personal names, without claiming to represent an entire faith.
Proposed project objectives
- 01Define the religious-studies concepts relevant to how adults explain the religious meanings attached to personal names.
- 02Assemble an ethically accessible evidence base from consented adult life-story interviews using chosen pseudonyms in research outputs.
- 03Compare naming, renaming and contextual use while distinguishing participants' meanings from researcher assumptions.
A suggested research approach
Confirm access to consented adult life-story interviews using chosen pseudonyms in research outputs and agree a tradition-sensitive analytical framework. Compare naming, renaming and contextual use while distinguishing participants' meanings from researcher assumptions. Document source selection and alternative interpretations. Obtain institutional approval and informed consent for any interviews or observations involving people.
What you will need
- Permitted access to consented adult life-story interviews using chosen pseudonyms in research outputs
- A thematic evidence matrix for how adults explain the religious meanings attached to personal names
- Ethics approval where required, voluntary adult consent and secure anonymised records
Keep your project scope clear
Names alone cannot establish belief, conversion history or family relationships.
