I love my name so much I would never want to change it I love it alot!
I love my name Kamaea!
Kia ora Kamaea,
ReplyDeleteI liked the way you thought about this activity. It's strange imagining a different name right?! I think Kamaea is a beautiful name! :)
When I think about changing my name I can't think of anything... mainly because I can't imagine getting used to a whole NEW name. Imagine someone calling out your name and you don't realise they are talking to you.
Do you think people should be able to change their name if they want to at any time? Or do you think we should keep our given names! Tough question, but curious to know what you think! :)

Kia Ora Erica, It is very true having a strange different name if you changed it. I was also thinking that people should be able to just stick with your name they have because thats what I like! Thanks for the great comment!
DeleteHej Kamaea,
ReplyDeleteKamaea is a lovely name! Is there any meaning behind it?
Kind regards,
Riiana
