1) Read and Discuss. What’s in a Name
Most names have a meaning. My name – Melanie – means black. My mother called me that because I was born in Africa.
Not everybody chooses their child’s name because of what it means. Many people call their children after friends or relatives. The American actress Cybill Shepherd was named after her grandfathers: Cy and Bill. Other people call their children after pop stars or film stars. Other people just choose names because they sound nice. But one thing is certain – everybody has a name.
Silly Names
A friend of mine has the surname “Tree”. Having a surname like that can be a problem – when she was a child she was called “Woody”. But that is nothing to the problems her cousin has. His parents decided to call him “Christmas” – Christmas tree. Some parents are horrible! Here is a list of silly names that parents have given their children (they are all true).
John Will Fail.
Dorothy May Grow.
Wava White Flagg. (Wave a white flag).
Be careful Macgee.
Merry Christmas.
January February March
Ima June Bugg. (I’m a June bug)

What are the most silly names in your country at the moment?
Fashionable Names
Like everything else, names come in and out of fashion. A name that was very fashionable in grandmother’s time can sound very old-fashioned to us. But very often they come back. 100 years ago, ‘Emma” was a very popular name for girls in Britain. Then it disappeared. Now it’s fashionable again. In fact it was the most popular name for baby girls born in 1981. When my cousin called her daughter Emma my grandmother was very surprised. She thought it was very out-of-date.
What are the most fashionable names in your country at the moment?
Naming the Baby
There are a lot of different traditions about naming children. In Christian societies, for example, the child is ‘christened” in church, the child is given a name and accepted into the religion. In the past it was considered unlucky for anyone outside the family to hear “the name of the baby before it was christened.
A lot of other societies have similar traditions. The Andaman islanders name the baby before it is born. And, until it is born, both the parents must be called by the baby’s name.
In ancient China children were often given names like “ugly” or “nasty”. The idea was that the bad spirits would believe what the name said and leave the child alone. Some Australian Aborigines keep their name a secret and always use a nickname. They think if someone finds out their name they will have control over them.
Most societies have rules about what names you can or cannot give. Babies in the South Sea Islands are named after events that happened about the time they were born. So there are children called Christmas, or Easter, or even Football Match.
The Ashanti tribe in Ghana name their children after the day on which they were born. Of course, Ashanti children get more than one name – others it would be very confusing. Here is a list of all the Ashanti names (there are different names for boys and girls). What’s your Ashanti name?
