This clever riddle asks: What belongs to you, but other people use it more than you do?
The answer is your name.
Your name belongs to you. It identifies you, appears on documents, and is part of how people know you. But in everyday life, other people usually say your name more often than you do yourself.
Friends use it to get your attention, family members call you by it, coworkers mention it in conversation, and people use it when introducing you to someone else.
That is what makes the riddle work: something can belong to you without being something you personally use the most.
Answer: Your name.
It sounds obvious once you know it, but the wording makes many people think of possessions first.
