【录音原文】
Names Humans have been using names since prehistoric times but although all cultures use names, the ways that we have of naming our children differ from place to place. (1)In some places people have just a single name while in others the naming process is far more complex. (2)Sometimes our names carry information about our family roots or even, in the case of some African cultures, (3)the order in which each sibling is born. Another interesting aspect of names is why people choose to give their child one name and not another and why certain names become popular at particular moments in time.
(4)It appears that parents are more adventurous when it comes to naming daughters. (5)Boys’ names tend to be more traditional and favorites change (6)less frequently. Jack has topped the list for the past nine years and shows no sign of moving.
A fairly recent trend in choosing a name has meant that there are now generations of young people named after musicians, (7)film stars and even designer clothes labels. Kylie is one of the most popular girls’ names at the moment and last year in the UK alone, 221 babies were named Shakira after the Columbian singer. Following the success of “The Matrix”, (8)fans started calling their children Morpheus and Trinity after the lead characters. And, if that isn’t bad enough, there are around three hundred American teenagers called Armani.
(9)Colours have also entered the naming arena with Pink, Ruby and Scarlet popular choices for girls and Blue and Grey for boys. (10)And what about the current craze for calling your child after a town or city? When David Beckham called his child Brooklyn, 105 other parents followed the craze and called their children; boys and girls alike, Brooklyn too. Other “place” names that are popular are Adelaide and Devon.
There is little to be done about the name you were given as a child but maybe we ought to think more carefully about the names we choose to give future generations. It would be sad to think that names that have been good enough for Kings, Queens, heroes and heroines throughout history will lose out to passing trends or short lived crazes. So, let’s have more Georges, Henrys, Katherines and Annes and less Hilfigers, Khakis, Chelseas and Pinks!
