Namessssssss @@

I'm interested in the variety of sources and reasons why English first names are chosen. “British Names” had helped me build up my knowledge. French has always been my favorite language, therefore, the influence of beautiful names like Eric and Arnold came from the invasion of Scandinavia and Normans had impressed me. Religion (such as Christian bible) also plays as an important part as the source of names like Catherine, Teresa, Mary, Anthony, George and Frances. It’s amazing how these names became greatly popular. Therefore, if one asks me to pick out the most favorite part of the article, I'm afraid I can't do so as I appreciate all of the information given.

According to the article, my middle names "Thai Bao" were chosen from my mom's favorite people (who are my uncle and my mom's best friend). My last name "Tran" was from my dad's side, which belongs to the Tran Dynasty, one of the most famous dynasties in the Vietnam's history. My name Khanh actually can either mean you, lord, noble, state minister, or high officer. Vietnamese names are usually based on Chinese characters, even they are written in the Latin characters. What people would do is to pronounce the word out loud and translate the Vietnamese word into Chinese word and write that Chinese word down on a paper and analyse it. As the Chinese characters are made up of other Chinese characters, we can get the meaning once the analysis is done.
