************************************************
Nietzsche too, likely influenced directly by Schopenhauer, claimed that the need for there to be a meaning to life is actually intimately related with the need for there to be a meaning to suffering. More specifically Nietzsche believed that the ubiquitous (widespread) need for there to be a meaning to life is caused by the fact that this life is filled with suffering, pain, loss, fear, anxiety, and ends not in happiness but in death. Thus, in order to endure the hardships of human existence, it is necessary for individuals to believe that their suffering has a purpose.
The naming norm still defines who should take what name when there doesn't need to be a definition because I don't see the need for there to be a social "norm" for the naming thing. It's a social thing sure, but it only becomes a norm if practiced by many people because...well that's what everyone does. The social norm should be that everyone just chooses what works for them within their own families.
