Your own very special name

We´ve tried to give our students English names in the English class as often as possible. Sometimes they were just direct translations of their Spanish equivalents(Try to find their real Spanish names):

John Brown, Michael Good, Henry Cross,Paul Siversmith; Jane Smith, Peter Bighouse,Helen Young,Angela Rivers,Immanuel Meadows,Richard Quarryman,Silvia Rich, Anthony Doors, Robert Orange tree, Edward Ray, John Martin, Andrew Bald, Alice Sardine, Angie Red, James Spain, Marisa Grey-haired, Marisol White, Diana Walls, Rosemary Rock, Christine L. Heads, Rick Thinny,Michael Pinkish, Emma Little Doors, John War,Wenceslas Apple tree, Snow Queen, Frank Rabbit, Rosemary Goat,Alice Bucket, Elizabeth Fat,Charles Warrior,Tony Bunches, Gorka Fair-haired, Mike Beautiful,John Castle, Helen Clearvillages,Anne Bottle,Joe Shoemaker, etc..

or their nicknames translated into English: Little fish, Little goat,Chips,The cuban, The chinese, the gas deliverer, Edwin,etc..
However, some surnames are obviously untranslatable: Ruiz, Pérez, García, González, Rodríguez,etc..
Mind you, other surnames are phonetically similar in both languages: Gil = Hill; Carrión = Carry on,Morán = Moran,etc..

In our culture we are traditionally given a name or two at birth but some of our students may not be very happy with both of their names and prefer to be referred to by their favourite name, nickname or affectionate term which I try to adapt into English in the belief that a person´s own name is the most essential part of a teacher to recall.

Native Americans were given a name shortly after their birth, but later in life many received a new name because of a feat they performed or a trait they exhibited. Some even received many names in a lifetime.The Teton Sioux, for example, used even three different names for each person as they aged. 

Here are some Native American (Indian) names:

 

Big bear

Happy girl

Little flowers

Brave wolf

Broken arrow

Sun boy

Snow bird

Iron Eyes

Black crow

Red Elk

Angry buffalo
