I do remember it being mentioned. In fact, I think it was said that if
you outlived your name quickly enough, it wasn't a good/challenging
enough name. I don't recall any specifics, though. Of course, it was
a great accomplishment to outlive one's name, but I don't think that
it was something that happened for everyone. I also think that it
seemed to be something that everyone tried for but few expected to ever
achieve.

I liked them both alot. Each one had its strengths and weaknesses,
though. _Daughters_ is certainly more complex, but _Door_ has much
more about the Sharers.
