and then i did some thinking and i remembered this ~concept~ ig u could say, from a book, one of the only ones i’ve ever read, Symposium by Plato. and he goes over the idea that the original forms of beings are two physical modern bodies, so they had two heads, four arms, four legs etc. and then plato says something about how zeus splits the two parts of the being, so every individual is constantly searching for their other half, right? and then i also remembered oliver is like a classics student, cuz elios father is a classics professor. and so he most likely would be familiar with this concept, cuz plato, is a classic. and so when he says “call me by your name, and i’ll call you by mine” it’s like they’re the two beings who have found each other, and by calling each other by each other’s name, they blur the boundaries of self, by “becoming” one another. by becoming the full being that they were intended to be, that they finally found each other, and the separation of self is no longer existent, completing their purpose as individuals.
