How to remember

The kanji 並 visually depicts two identical figures standing side-by-side, representing things "lining up" or being "parallel" to each other.
'Nara(bu)' — like people in NARA (the city) lining up to feed the deer.
'Nami' — sounds like 'name'. If you have a very common name, you might feel like an ORDINARY person.
