It can determine our View our interactive dashboard career. It can influence how smoothly we navigate through to explore the baby names in a life or, alternatively, how hard it can be for us to get multi-cultural society. ahead (1,4). Over the last 70 years, for example, researchers have tried to gauge the effect of having an unusual name on a person. It is thought that our identity is partly shaped by the way we are treated by other people - a concept psychologists call the "looking-glass self" (2) - and our name, therefore, has the potential to color our interactions with society (3,4). More recent studies present a mixed picture (1,3,4), showing children with unusual names may learn to control impulses because they may be teased and then get used to people repeatedly asking them about their name. Some scholars have explained that children with unusual names actually benefit from that experience by learning to control their emotions or their impulses (1,3,4). Various names are popular among different social classes, and these groups have different opportunities and goals (1). The name we give our baby can stem from traditional, regional, historical or religious sources (5). In addition, a child's name can also hint at what his or her parents’ expectations are for their children within the particular society in which they live. Therefore, it is very interesting to explore baby names in a multi-cultural society like New York City, which has distinct ethnic groups: White, Hispanic, Black, and Asian. Baby names in a multi-cultural society reflect the sociological process of integration or segregation between minority ethnic groups and the majority ethnic group (in New York City’s case, the White ethnic group) (5). Also, it is enlightening to reflect upon the popularity of male and female baby names during this period of progression in gender equality (6). 1 This report sheds light on the following questions: To answer these questions, we analyzed a data set from Kaggle that included 1,571 names of 164,965 female babies, and 1,417 names of 207,569 male babies born in New York City between Do parents of different ethnic groups choose specific ethnic names for their children or do they 2011 and 2016 (7).

The ethnically neutral baby name index can range from 0.00, when a male (or female) name was given in one ethnic group (Ethnically specific names), to 0.75, when a male name appeared equally in each one of the 4 ethnic groups (Ethnically neutral names, 25% in each one of the ethnic groups). This ethnically specific name index was computed for males and females. 3 Main Findings Most Popular Male Baby Names In New York City during the researched years, the top 5 most popular names for males were Jacob, Ethan (more than 3,000 names), Matthew, David, and Liam (2500-2750 names).

  • President's Monthly Letter Feast of St. Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, Archangels September 2020 Dear Guardian Families
    President’s Monthly Letter Feast of St. Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, Archangels September 2020 Dear Guardian Families, Happy Feast of Sts. Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, Archangels! Yesterday we celebrated our patronal feast and the 3rd anniversary of the dedication of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus Chapel. As our fourth year is now underway, we can look back and celebrate the many accomplishments of SMA in the past and look forward to our exciting future together, confident that our patron, St. Michael, will defend us in the battle. Whenever I visit the doctor, there are four words I never like to hear: “Now this may hurt.” That message brings about two responses in me, the first is one of dread… it means I’m going to be experiencing something I really don’t want! Secondly, I brace in anticipation of what is about to happen; I’m able to make myself ready for the event. September is the month of Our Lady of Sorrows (in Latin, the seven “dolors”). When Mary encountered Simeon in the temple, she heard the same message in a more intense form, “this ​is going to hurt.” The prophet told her, ​A sword will pierce through your own soul.​ Mary, a new mother still in wonder at the miraculous birth of her child, now hears that her life is going to be integrally tied to his sufferings. So September is always a month linked to compassion; the compassion Mary had for her son and has for us. It is also a reminder of the compassion we can have for each other.

  • 7 Naming Customs from Around the World
    7 Naming Customs From Around the World http://blog.tesol.org/7-naming-customs-from-around-the-world/ Posted on 30 July 2015 by Judie Haynes Immigrant students in the United States have already suffered the trauma of leaving behind their extended family, friends, teachers, and schools. They enter a U.S. school and can also lose their name. Their name may be deliberately changed by parents or school staff, or an error may be made in the order of the name or its spelling. These mistakes can have lasting effects on students. A person’s name is part of his or her cultural identity, and it is up to schools to get it right. In order for teachers, administrators, or office staff in your school to enroll students with the correct the name, they need to understand the naming conventions of different cultures. Here are seven naming customs from different cultures. Korean names are written with the family name first. If Yeon Suk has the family name “Lee,” his name will be written Lee Yeon Suk. The given name usually has two parts, and it follows the family name. Either part of the given name can be a generation marker: Two- part given names should not be shortened— that is, Lee Yeon Suk should be called Yeon Suk, not Yeon. Russian names have three parts: a given name, a patronymic (a middle name based on the father’s first name), and the father’s surname. If Viktor Aleksandrovich Rakhmaninov has two children, his daughter’s name would be Svetlana Viktorevna Rakhmaninova.

  • Choosing a Confirmation Name and Paper Guidelines
    St. Rose Catholic Church St. John Catholic Church Parish Office Building 222 S. West Street Lima, Ohio 45801 Choosing a Confirmation Name A Confirmation name may be the candidate’s baptismal (given) name, thereby strengthening the link between baptism and Confirmation. A candidate may also choose the name of a saint or virtue (Faith, Hope…). Girls may, if they wish, use the female version of a male saint’s name, such as Denise for Dennis. A candidate may also use the foreign-language equivalent of any acceptable name (Esperanza for Hope, Francesca for Frances or Francis). Only ONE name may be used. How do I choose a name? You may want to honor a relative or your sponsor by using their name. In this case, find a saint with the same name. You may use your baptismal name if it is a Christian name. You may choose a saint who is a patron of a group you can relate to. Sebastian is the patron saint of athletes, Cecelia of musicians. Websites to give you some ideas: http://www.catholic.org/saints/ http://www.americancatholic.org/ http://www.catholic-forum.com/saints/ There are also books available in the Religious Education room at St. Rose that may be used to research ideas. Guidelines for paper on Confirmation name Write a brief essay (2-4 paragraphs) explaining why you chose this name. Your paper must be typed, double-spaced and 12 font. Include in your paper: The meaning of the name Why you chose the name If it is a saint’s name, give information about the saint’s life If you are taking the name of your sponsor and it is NOT a saint’s name, tell why you chose that person as your sponsor.

  • What's in an Irish Name?
    What’s in an Irish Name? A Study of the Personal Naming Systems of Irish and Irish English Liam Mac Mathúna (St Patrick’s College, Dublin) 1. Introduction: The Irish Patronymic System Prior to 1600 While the history of Irish personal names displays general similarities with the fortunes of the country’s place-names, it also shows significant differences, as both first and second names are closely bound up with the ego-identity of those to whom they belong.1 This paper examines how the indigenous system of Gaelic personal names was moulded to the requirements of a foreign, English-medium administration, and how the early twentieth-century cultural revival prompted the re-establish- ment of an Irish-language nomenclature. It sets out the native Irish system of surnames, which distinguishes formally between male and female (married/ un- married) and shows how this was assimilated into the very different English sys- tem, where one surname is applied to all. A distinguishing feature of nomen- clature in Ireland today is the phenomenon of dual Irish and English language naming, with most individuals accepting that there are two versions of their na- me. The uneasy relationship between these two versions, on the fault-line of lan- guage contact, as it were, is also examined. Thus, the paper demonstrates that personal names, at once the pivots of individual and group identity, are a rich source of continuing insight into the dynamics of Irish and English language contact in Ireland. Irish personal names have a long history. Many of the earliest records of Irish are preserved on standing stones incised with the strokes and dots of ogam, a 1 See the paper given at the Celtic Englishes II Colloquium on the theme of “Toponyms across Languages: The Role of Toponymy in Ireland’s Language Shifts” (Mac Mathúna 2000).

  • Naming Practices and Ethnic Identity in Tuva K
    Naming Practices and Ethnic Identity in Tuva K. David Harrison 1 Yale University 1 Introduction Indigenous peoples of Siberia maintain a tenuous identity pummeled by forces of linguistic and cultural assimilation on the one hand, and empowered by a discourse of self-determination on the other. Language, even at the level of individual words, may serve as an arena where such opposing ideologies of identity and exclusion play themselves out (Bakhtin 1981). This paper is based on recent fieldwork by the author among the Tuvans (also Tyvans), an indigenous Turkic people of south central Siberia. We investigate two recent trends in Tuvan anthroponymic praxis (i.e. choice and use of given names, nicknames and kinship terms). First, we look at the rise and decline in the use of Russian (and other non- Tuvan) given names for Tuvan children after 1944. This trend reveals perceived values of native vs. non-native names in a community where two languages of unequal social value are spoken. Secondly, we explore how the Russian naming system imposed on Tuvans after 1944 fused with the existing Tuvan system, giving rise to a new symbiosis. The new system adds Russian elements, preserves key elements of Tuvan naming, and also introduces some innovations not found in either system. For comparative purposes, we cite recent studies of Xakas names (Butanayev, n.d.) and Lithuanian naming practices (Lawson and Butkus 1999). We situate naming trends within a historical and sociolinguistic context of Tuvan as the majority language of a minority people of Russia. We also offer an interpretation of these two trends that addresses larger questions of the relation between naming and name use on the one hand and construction of ethno-linguistic identity on the other.
