Hi. How are you, Georgie?
I'm very well, thank you, Phil. How are you?
I'm good. I'm very good. Today, we're going to talk all about names. We're going to talk about our names and where they come from.
Ooh, it's an interesting topic. Phil, what's the story behind your name? Were you named after anyone or anything?
I don't know, if I'm honest. I don't know why I have my name.

Chapter 2: What interesting stories do Phil and Georgie share about their names?
So it's quite a relevant question. It is difficult, isn't it? Because you have to think of a name that you're going to like for a long time that you're not going to get bored of because you use it so much.
Yeah, I guess with dog's names, you don't want to have something that's too common because when you call your dog, the whole park will come running to you.
Yeah, exactly. We're trying to think of something a little bit more unusual and fun.
OK, let's recap the vocabulary we heard during the conversation, starting with nickname, which is an informal name used by family and friends.
We can use name as a verb, which means to give someone a name. For example, my parents named me Georgie.
If you're named after something or someone, you're given the same name as them because of them. For example, Georgie was named after a dog called Georgia.
I was. Your name might be common, which means lots of people have the same name.
Or your name might be unusual, and that means that not many people have the same name. That's it for this episode of Real Easy English. Test what you've learnt with the worksheet on our website and that's bbclearningenglish.com.
We'll be back next week with more Easy English. Goodbye for now. Bye.
