Name 名字

對于學(xué)英語的孩子們來說,起英文名應(yīng)該是最先做的一件事了,And it is cool if somebody calls you by your English name.感覺超洋氣。
But, it is really difficult to find a proper and unique English name.今天我們就一起來看看歪果仁們最喜歡嗒名字和含義。希望對還糾結(jié)起英文名的童鞋有幫助。
BabyCenter Canada has released the country’s top baby names of 2015. Emma and Liam are the queen and king of the year. Interestingly, the top three baby girls’ names have not changed since 2014.
排名前十的英文名字分別是:
Emma: It means "whole" or "universal"(宇宙的). 也有文靜的意思。It was also used by Jane Austen(簡奧斯丁) for the central character, the matchmaker(媒人) Emma Woodhouse, in her novel 'Emma' .
Olivia: 這個名字最早出現(xiàn)在莎士比亞的喜劇'Twelfth Night' 中. In the play Olivia is a noblewoman(貴婦人) who is wooed(追求) by Duke Orsino but instead falls in love with his messenger Cesario. 有橄欖樹,和平者的意思。
Sophia:Means "wisdom" in Greek. 這是一個古老的名字,在中世紀(jì)的歐洲大陸非常常見。
Zoe: Means "life" in Greek。有生命,生活的意思。
Emily:在拉丁語中means"rival";也指勤勉奮發(fā)的;聲音響亮圓潤的人。
Avery: 這個名字呢,是從Alberich 演變來的,有elf and power的意思。
Isabella:Isabella's meaning is Hebrew for "God is my satisfaction" or "God's hope."上帝的誓約
Charlotte:有人評價這個名字說: it's feminine without being frilly, strong without being boyish. 嬌柔而不虛飾;自強獨立而不過于男性化。
Lily:From the name of the flower, a symbol of purity。百合,純潔的象征。
Ava:有水的意思,也有美貌、柔和。
排名前十的名字,It seems these names are not common in China.
Personally, I like the name Zoe. It sounds full of energy. Which name do you like? And what is your English Name?
