Explaination:
Famous people’s names
Your name is extremely significant. It’s how you identify yourself. It’s how other people identify you. Elton John was born Reginald Kenneth Dwight. Can you imagine someone famous with a name like that? He had to change it. Marilyn Monroe sounds so much more glamorous than Norma Jean Baker. So parents make one of the most important decisions in the lives of their children – giving them a name.
The names children dislike
Some people choose names because they are fashionable. Other parents do the opposite and call their children strange names, or they even invent names. People who choose strange names for their children want to show how special they are. However, the children are not always happy with their parents’ choice. David Bowie’s son found the name Zowie so embarrassing that he changed it to Joe.
Unusual names
These days it’s fashionable to give your child the name of a place that is important to you. Victoria and David Backham decided to call their son Brooklyn because they were in New York when they discovered that Victoria was going to have a baby. Madonna named her daughter Lourdes after the town in France, the ex-US-President Bill Clinton named his daughter Chelsea after a part of London that he and his wife liked.
World’s strangest name
A woman, Mrs. Smith, was in hospital after the birth of her son. She was trying to decide what to call her son, when she walked past a door. It had the name ‘KING’ on it. That’s a good name, she thought. A little later, she walked past another door, and this time she saw the name ‘NOSMO’. Interesting, she thought. But she liked it, too, and so her son was named Nosmo King Smith. It was only six month later that she discovered her terrible mistake.
The name of the computer
A.L.I.C.E. is an award-winning chat robot at www.alicebot.org. She’s intelligent and funny and has won prizes for being the most human-like computer. She was created by Dr Richard S. Wallace. Six thousand people a month chat to A.L.I.C.E. Some people spend up to four and a half hours a day chatting online with her, and some have even said they prefer her to their own girlfriends.
Ways not to forget a name
There are some techniques that you can use to help you remember the names of the people. The best thing is to imagine images of the people and the names that you want to remember. And you should try to think of funny images as they are easier to remember. For example, we have Tom, the student from Australia. For Tom you might imagine a tomato.
The importance of names
One day, a man lost his dog. He put an advertisement in the newspaper and hoped that somebody would telephone him with news of his pet. It was easy to identify the dog. It had only three legs and had also lost an ear in a fight with a rotweiler. Unfortunately, the dog was blind, too. And if someone found the dog, they could check its name. it had a tag around its neck with its name on it: ‘Lucky’!
