Do monks and nuns leave their homes?
A monk or a nun is a cenobite. By definition, a cenobite is a member of a religious community, in the Benedictine tradition they must take three vows of Stability, conversatio morum, and Obedience; actually they are not three different vows, but three different ways of looking at the monastic life, see link below. Stability means that they are bound to that monastery (where they make their vows) for their entire earthly life. Do they leave their homes? Well, yes, they leave the home that they grow up in and choose the monastery as their permanent home. Traditionally an enclosed Cenobite never leaves the grounds, although there have always been exceptions, for instance, to go to the doctor's office or a hospital. Currently, modern Benedictine monks and nuns often will have jobs outside of their monastery, perhaps on an extended leave type of arrangement, but they always return to their monastery.
What names may a monk choose when he enters monastery?

Why was theodora so important to the history of the byzantine empire?
She influenced policies regarding women, including divorce laws and property ownership, and also was a very helpful advisor to Justinian. For example, during the Nika Riots, when the people fought for gambling, homosexuality, and lower taxes, Theodora convinced Justinian to stay and fight, rather than flee and leave the throne behind. He stayed, and the rioters were killed.

In countries that are lead by one or a few powerful families (like the countries on the Arab peninsula) leaders are either chosen by cooptation, where the family or clan members have a meeting to decide who to ask or appoint for the job; or they are simply appointed by the head of the family, like in Saudi Arabia.
