TALKING ABOUT OUR NAMES

Hi people,
let's know something else about ourselves, let's learn about our names!

You have to take a look to www.behindthename.com or www.thinkbabynames.com for example, and prepare a writing with the information you get about your name: its origin, its meaning, its popularity, its celebration, countries in which it is also used, celebrities with the same name, etc..., to hang it on our blog.

Then, you have to do an oral exposition in front of the rest of your classmates.

You, the ones that are listening to the speaker, have to complete the columns with the required information: Name Language Origin Meaning Celebration´s date

Go on!
