Look at the names in the article. Do you know any people with these names?
What are they like?
Your name is very important. When you think of yourself, you probably
think of your name first. It is an important part of your identity.
Right now, the two most popular names for babies in the United States
are Jacob for boys and Emily for girls. Why are these names
popular? And why are some names unpopular?
Names can become popular because of famous actors, TV or book
characters, or athletes. Popular names suggest very positive things. Unpopular names suggest
negative things. Surprisingly, people generally agree on the way they feel about names. Here
are some common opinions about names from a recent survey.
So why do parents give their children unpopular names? The biggest reason is tradition. Many
people are named after a family member. Of course, opinions can change over time. A name
that is unpopular now might become popular in the future. Thats good news for all the Georges
and Bettys out there!
