Activity 2: What’s in a Name? [4 points]
Muhammad Ali was one of the greatest boxers of all time. He started boxing when he was 12 years old and went on to become the World Heavyweight Champion numerous times in the 1960s and 1970s.
Muhammad Ali was an African American man born with the name Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. When he was a young man, however, he became a Muslim and converted to Islam. When he converted, he changed his name to Muhammad Ali. During his life, Ali gave a lot of time and money to various charities. He also helped to feed more than 22 million people across the world who didn’t have enough food. Despite all of his charitable work, Muhammad Ali is still best known for his agressive boxing style, his confident personality and his inspirational quotes.

Kia ora Anamaria,
ReplyDeleteI liked the way you thought about this activity. It's hard to imagine a different name right?! I think both Anamaria and Stephanie are beautiful names. When I think about changing my name I can't think of anything... mainly because I can't imagine getting used to a whole NEW name. Imagine someone calling out your name and you don't realise they are talking to you.
Do you think people should be able to change their name if they want to at any time? Or do you think we should keep our given names! Tough question, but curious to know what you think! :)

Hi Erica, it depends people may or may not want to change their name so I think they shouldn't, we all have beautiful names and i think it's best to keep them. Thank you for commenting on my blog :D
DeleteHi Anamaria!
ReplyDeleteI have always thought that Stephanie was a beautiful name. I had no idea that it originated from Greek!
Keep up with the awesome posts!!
