1. I think I know this man. He lived on a nearby street. Strange person. I hardly know
his name. His name I suppose is Teddy. But I think it’s not his real name. Probably,
it’s just his nickname. I remember when he had moved here, he was hardly in his 30s.
Now he’s far from 40. Actually, it’s hard to say how old he is.
2. My son is teenager he’s not even 16 yet. He’s going to go to medical college. He’s
good at natural sciences. I thought I’ll have a lot of problems in teenage. But frankly
it was harder for me when he was a baby. He was so indocile.
3. Betty was a pretty girl. She was named doll in the school. Everyone love her at
home and give her funny petnames. Even when she become an adult everyone kept
calling her various funny names. When she turned 35, among the gifts were
traditional dolls and soft toys.
4. My cousin and I are namesakes. I was named after my grandfather, and he after his
father. In fact, patronymic we are called differently.
5. When his aunt married decided to leave her maiden name. That is why she and her
husband are different surnames and their children took the surname father.
6. He entered the university when he was a little over 20 and when he was about 30
he wrote his first book. He took a penname because he didn’t like his real name and
surname.
7. I tried to identify her real one age. If she graduated from school in aged 17, so she
is now 32. It turns out that we are the same age. And I thought that she is about 25.
8. When I sign the letters addressed Peter, I never write my full name, and I indicate
only initials. This quite enough. After all, we are with him make friends.
9. When parents register a birth child, they choose a name for her which she will
wear it all her life. Sometimes a newborn after another person, a relative or
something a famous personality. Sometimes parents give strange and funny names,
and they can affect the fate of a person. If a person doesn't like their name, she can
change it or take it for herself nickname, especially if engaged creativity.
10. Everyone in our family is affectionate names, they are very funny. Especially,
at school, children, especially teenagers, give each other nicknames which may be
