Using names in Personal Statement

I am not so much referring too full names, locations, etc. However more so am referring too maybe a first name. I have seen arguments for both sides. making sure you are not violating HIPAA is obviously important. However I have also been told you want your personal statement to be a narrative or a story that adcoms members would enjoy reading, and including more personal information like a first name would help create a story. Any thoughts?
