Dear Anne,
I want to tell you about names. Some future parents choose traditional ones such as William or Hannah. Others pick names from the media they like. We call those modern names – for example, Hermione. A lot of people search the Internet to find a unique name for their child. That’s why some people have names like Apple or Hope.
Nowadays, traditional names are still the most popular. However, some unique names like Luna are becoming more popular. What’s interesting is that some parents choose names that fit both boys and girls, such as River.
I think my parents love traditional names because mine is Katherine. My grandma is Katherine, too! As you can see, it’s quite an old name. Do you think your name is traditional or modern?
