Surname (Last name), middle name, first name? Is there a story behind your naming? Someone famous, a family member, weird initials? Does your name have symbolic meaning? Is it ethnic or historic or literary? Did your parents consider other names? In short, how do you live with your name? Create: A Circle Map (See example on next slide) to explore ideas about your name. In the center, put your full name. In the next circle outside: make notes about your name. Consider the prompt. No wrong answer. In the outer box, list your sources of information about your name. **Remember – this is about your name – not about you.
