Welcome to the "Who Am I?" project!
Our project has to do with you and who you are. The music you like to hear, the food you like to eat, favourite sports and hobbies, favourite movies and books;
all of this can tell others who you are.
But do you know how important is your name? If you did not have a name, how could you identify yourself? Who would you be without a name? It is how you identify yourself. It is how others identify you.
Names give us a unique power for life. Given names of people can influence our impressions of them. We associate certain characteristics with certain names. We develop these associations through our experiences with names of famous people in history, literature, mythology, and television and through our folklore. This is why certain names are more or less popular in one country than in another.
