https://padlet.com/chandleroliphant/Beta8218 Each of your English names has a name story, and just like your last name, it carries a piece of your special identity. You are going to spend the next few minutes of class reflecting on your name story. Consider the following: What do you like about your name? What do you dislike about your name? How/why did your family pick your name? Do you have any nicknames? Where do your nicknames come from? What is the meaning/translation of your name? Do you have a middle name? If so, how/why did your family pick your middle name? Do you like your middle name? What is the meaning of your last name? How does it tie into your heritage in terms of your culture, religion and ethnic identity? Do you have any memorable stories about your first name, middle name or last name? en-us 2018-02-07 19:18:48 UTC 2025-12-03 23:34:50 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Babyhead.png chandleroliphant https://padlet.com/chandleroliphant/Beta8218/wish/2403594400 2022-11-30 14:08:30 UTC https://padlet.com/chandleroliphant/Beta8218/wish/2403594400 https://padlet.com/chandleroliphant/Beta8218/wish/2403754034 my name means strong, long living, and intelligent. i like my name because it is short and easy to remember. i do not know why my parents gave me this name. my middle name is Oliver which was also the name of my friend. i have no memories about my name. i had the nickname ninja because i used to dye my hair. ]]> 2022-11-30 15:39:09 UTC https://padlet.com/chandleroliphant/Beta8218/wish/2403754034 https://padlet.com/chandleroliphant/Beta8218/wish/2403754099 i like that brody is a cool/unique naem my middle name is shane and i am jewish and in hebrew that means gift from god ]]> 2022-11-30 15:39:11 UTC https://padlet.com/chandleroliphant/Beta8218/wish/2403754099 https://padlet.com/chandleroliphant/Beta8218/wish/2403754209 Me llamo Gianna Sano.
