Hello, my name is...

Exodus 3:
13Then Moses said to God, "If I come to the people of Israel and say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me, 'What is his name?' what shall I say to them?" 14God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM." And he said, "Say this to the people of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you.'"
There's something in knowing a person's name. What does it mean to you when you learn a new person's name?
God introduces himself as "I AM WHO I AM". What?!? Mysterious. Mind blowing. Think about it and send your brain on overdrive.

Ehyeh. It's masculine, singular, imperfect. Being imperfect means that it reflects an action that is not complete. Here's a decent discussion:
