Everything has a name. All people, places, and things have names. Jenny is the name of a student from the UK. The UK is the name of a country. Cities and towns have names, too. Schools also have names. Tomato, potato and carrot are names of vegetables. Apple, orange, and banana are names of fruit.
When we meet a new person, we usually ask, “What's your name?” Most people have two names. Names are different all over the world. In Jenny's class, Jenny must know the names of the students from all over the world. This is not easy because the names are very different.
In the USA, most people have a first name, a middle name and a last name, Parents choose( 选择 ) the first and middle names for their babies. The last name is the family name. Usually it is the father's family name. In a family, the mother, the father, and the children usually have the same last name.
Sometimes a person has a nickname( 绰号 ), too. A nickname is a special( 特殊的 ) name. It's not a person's real name. Abraham Lincoln's nickname was “Honest Abe”, because he was honest( 诚实的 ) and Abe is short for(… 的简称 ) Abraham. Pele is a nickname of the football player, Edson Arantes do Nascimento. But everyone calls him Pele.
