o culture:

o Apart from their surname or last name, most British and American children are given two

personal names by their parents, a first name and a middle name. These names are sometimes

called Christian names or given names. Some people have only one given name, a few have three

Page 28: Family and Life Stages

or more. Friends and members of a family who are of similar age usually call one another by their

first names. In some families young people now also call their aunts and uncles and even their

parents by their first names. Outside the family, the expression be on first name terms suggests

that the people concerned have a friendly, informal relationship, although it is also very common

for strangers to call each other by their first names. When writing their name Americans

commonly give their first name and their middle initial (= first letter of their middle name), e.g.

George M Cohan. Both given names are used in full only on formal occasions, e.g. when people

get married. In Britain many people sign their name on forms etc. using the initials of both their

given names and their surname, e.g. J E Brooks, but may write Joanna Brooks at the end of a

letter. The full name (= all given names and surname) is usually only required on official forms.

Parents usually decide on given names for their children before they are born. In some families

the oldest boy is given the same name as his father. In the US the word junior or senior, or a

number, is added after the name and surname to make it clear which person is being referred to.

For example, the son of William Jones Sr (Senior) would be called William Jones Jr (Junior), and

his son would be called William Jones III ('William Jones the third'). Many popular names come

from the Bible, e.g. Jacob, Joshua, Matthew, Mary, Rebecca and Sarah, though this does not

imply that the people who choose them are religious. Other people give their children the name of

somebody they admire, such as a famous sports personality, or a film or pop star. In Britain the

names William and Harry became common again after the sons of Prince Charles were given

these names. In the US Chelsea was not a common name for a girl until President Bill Clinton's

daughter Chelsea came to public attention. Names such as David, Michael, Paul and Robert for

boys and Catherine, Elizabeth and Jane for girls remain popular for many years. Others, e.g.

Darrell, Darren, Wayne, Chloe, Jade and Zara, are fashionable for only a short period. Names

such as Albert, Herbert, Wilfrid, Doris, Gladys and Joyce are now out of fashion and are found

mainly among older people. Some older names come back into fashion and there are now many

young women called Amy, Emma, Harriet, Laura and Sophie. The birth announcements columns

in newspapers give an indication of the names which are currently popular. In Britain these have

included Jack, Joshua and Thomas for boys and Emily, Ellie and Chloe for girls and in the US

Jacob, Michael and Joshua for boys and Emily, Emma and Madison for girls. People from Wales,

Scotland or Ireland, or those who have a cultural background from outside Britain, may choose

from an additional set of names. In the US Jews, African Americans or people of Latin American

origin may also choose different names.
