" Naming Tradition " review text

“ Your identity is not your name but the quality you possess that adds a meaning to your name “ -Rhythmic feelings


“Naming tradition” what do you think about it? Okay reader, in every country has different rule to give name for their children. Even, inside the country has many tradition also. The different rule to give name for the children based on a good meaning of name, religion, father’s name, mother’s name, and other. Name is our identity, everyone cannot call you without name.


There is case about American President Kim Young Sam. The American President called the wife of President Kim as Mrs. Kim, while the real name is Mrs. Sohn. In Korea, the family name comes before the given name. Korean women, they kept their maiden names. In Mexico, when the women get married, they will add her husband in last name after the word “de”. Vietname, Chinese, Cambodian placing the family name at first. While American, they are placing the family name at last.


In my beloved country, Indonesia. Naming tradition was stiil popular, Indonesia has many tradition, including giving and calling names. For example, “Mr. Zaenal Muttaqin” when he has children, the child’s name will be “zhakaria Muttaqin”. They add the last name of father’s name.


I recommended this text for you all. This is a good text because in this text give us knowledge about how to understanding the difference, and we know about to how we call the other’s name. we’ll embarrassement if we say wrong name.
