When a child is born it is given a name. In some cultures the name is not given immediately at birth. Icelandic babies are not named immediately at birth. Chinese parents often reflect their hopes for their children in the names they give them. Some Native Americans wait and observe the personality of the newborn to see what name is appropriate.
Names vary if the baby is loud, quiet or aggressive.
They allow another family to raise their child because they feel that this is the best thing for their baby. Make note of the information other participants in this project are sharing about their names. Ask them questions about their names. Classroom Activities Research the meaning of your name. Talk to your parents and ask them why they gave you the name they did.
