What's in a name?
Your family name may say 1) ... (MUCH) about your
ancestors than you think. Common English names, like
Baker and Butcher, tell 2) (WE) what our relatives in the
far past did for a living. Names like Hills, Fields and Rivers
say where people used to live.
3) (GIVE) first names often refer to a characteristic that
parents would like their children to have; for example,
Sophia, which means 'wisdom', or Anna, meaning 'grace'.

about Stephen and Sara, meaning 'crown' and 'princess'?
Whichever name you go by, one thing is certain: it's yours
for life!
