George's original Christian name was Jeremy, a very noble name. However, he had to change it to George because of an injustice. He had a friend called Geoff. Geoff was a good friend to George at first, but then he started to ruffle George's feathers. Geoff pretended that George stole Geoff's tuna and cucumber sandwich. George's friends shamed him so badly that he had to change his name. Now, George still carries a lot of emotional baggage with him. George no longer makes friends or speaks truth to power, fearing he'll be shamed again.

In some Chinese families, people are named according to their family book. For example, the first character is the family name, say Lin, the second character may be a character taken from a poetry found in the family book, and the third character can be anything their parents desire. So the siblings may share two characters in their names, and people can tell their seniority in the family hierarchy by their name.

Thanks for sharing! It's interesting. Here in Korea, parents name their children to reflect the meaning they wish for their child. For example, my name is Hyunmin. It means being a person who makes the world brighter.❤

I’d like to clarify my doubt about the pronunciation of the word “Jesus”. When I look it up in OALD, it is pronounced “ /ˈdʒiːzəs/“. But I heard Neil pronounce this word something like “ /ˈhiːzəs/. Could you please help me clarify my doubt?

[@bbclearningenglish]

When we talk about 'Jesus' from Christianity, we pronounce it as /ˈdʒiːzəs/, but we might pronounce people from around the world with the name 'Jesus' a bit differently!

...to consider changing their name or names?

[@marioma2000]

Meaning of "heart and soul" plz

[@bbclearningenglish]

'Heart and soul' can mean 'completely' and we use this phrase in various ways. There is the fixed expression 'pour your heart and soul into something', which means doing something passionately eg 'I pour my heart and soul into my work', which means I'm very enthusiastic about my work and I always do the best I can.

I am commenting the word "must" you used: Do you mean “cultural necessity” or “religious necessity”? I'm more interested in the second part, because many of the "companions" did not!!

I can't understand why Professor robert decided to name his son Micah, the Christian name. As I understand the whole story, it seems he doesn't like a Christian name because of the past (salve).😢

[@RafaelS-e6q]

he chose Micah in honor of the prophet who his name was Micah, who spoke truth to power and challenged injustice, in other words, he used a biblical name for his son.
