For this post I want you to do a little research on your name. Where does your name come from? Do you have a family history surrounding your name? What are the origins of your family name? How does your name inform who you are?
Try these resources: Oxford English Dictionary, Ancestor Search, Behind The Name, and also Google it!
Spend 200 or more words discussing the origin of your name and the significance those origins have for you in your present life.
Be sure to title your blogs well! Titles are an integral part of any written work. Make it work for you and your writing!
These are due before class on Monday (9/15)

Um... my middle name has some what a history around it, my whole name is Abraham Wongy Ban and the name Wongy has some meaning. Wongy means Preaching place and i thought to my self wtf what does that have to do with anything? I asked my mom about how she got the name and she told me that my grandfather named it for me. "He always loved that name" what my mom said "he had 3 boys and if he had one more, it would be that name." I asked why "preaching place" she said "He knew that you was the only one to be born in your family line, and that name means in other words 'won' meaning preach but by only one person and 'gy' place of one." I still don't know the whole meaning its to much for me.
