What‟s in a name?

A family in New Zealand wants to name their baby son 4Real. In New Zealand they do not allow giving names which begin with a number. So the family decides to call their baby Superman.

In many countries, unusual names for children are popular. Some parents choose names from popular culture and sports. For example, there are 36 children named Arsenal after the football team.

Other parents like to make up names, or combine names. They want to make unique names. For example, Jordan, the British model invented the name Tiaamii for her daughter. She combined the names Thea and Amy (the two grandmothers).

Other countries have stricter rules of naming children. In Japan, Denmark, Spain, Germany and Argentina there is a list of allowed names. In China parents can not add foreign letters or symbols to names of their children.

In Britain, some old-fashioned names are popular again, such as Maisie or Ella for a girl, or Alfie or Noah for a boy. But the most popular names are traditional – Jack, Charlie and Thomas for boys and Grace, Ruby and Jessica for girls.

18. Match the questions with the answers.

a)Why does the family name their son Superman?

b)How do parents make unique names?

c)What does Tiaamii mean?

d)Can parents in China add foreign letters to names of their children?

e)What are the most popular names in Britain?

2)No, they can not.

3)Mostly traditional names.

4)They make up or combine names.

5)It is the combination of the names Thea and Amy.
