Chinese parents may look in the dictionary to name their kids. They decide on characters (汉 字)that mean things like: health, happiness, beauty or cleverness. However, things are different in the US. In America, it is an old tradition for men to give their own first name to their sons. This is not as common as it once was, though it still happens. For example, the US president (总统) George W. Bush 2 has the same name as his father, George H. W. Bush. When a father and a son have the same name, people usually call the son “junior”. Sometimes, there will be three or more generations(一代) of men with the same name. The grandsons and great-grandsons (曾孙) will be “George III”, “George IV” and so on. These last few years, it is quite popular for Americans to name their kids after famous people. The most popular names, Daniel and Emma, both come from the names of the Harry Potter actors. People are also thinking of new names all the time. For example, the NBA all-star LeBron James has a new and unusual name: LeBron. It is also common for people to name their children after things like “River”, “Apple” or “Star”. A name may come from the Bible (圣经), the dictionary or Harry Potter.
