I would change my name from Helena to Étoile
Because Étoile means star in French, my daddy was going to call me Étoile but
my mum called me Helena after Queen Helena. I like both names as I’m the first grandchild in both families so I get a Royal treatment and they always say
I’m bright like a star.
Malo Helena, how is your summer going? I hope you are enjoying the sunshine!
ReplyDeleteMy name is Eliza and I’m working as a blog commenter on the Summer Learning Journey this summer. Have you done the Summer Learning Journey before? I’m part of the Ako Hiko cluster but i’ve just popped over to the Manaiakalani cluster to check out some of the learners’ awesome blogs! If you want to know more about me, you can check out my blog.
Thanks for doing week one, day four, activity two about changing your name. I really like the name Étoile , it’s pretty! I didn’t know it means ‘star’ in French, so thanks for sharing that. I also really like the name Helena though and I’m sure it suits it!
I was going to be called Hannah but then my parents decided to name me Eliza which I’m happy about because I think I suit Eliza more and it is more unique!
Have a fantastic day,
Eliza :)
The story behind the french name is my grandma (dad's mum) was a French Teacher, daddy lived in Paris for 8 yeas. So French is a big thing in our family. I don't think people would pronounce Étoile correctly, they can't even pronounce Helena right!

DeleteAta Mārie Helena, thanks for your reply!
I enjoyed learning about your family’s connection to France, have you lived there before? Would you like to? One of my friends is half french and is planning on going to live in Paris in about six months - I have never been before so I'm excited to go and visit her when she moves over there :)
Sorry to hear people don’t pronounce your name correctly, that must be annoying!
Have a groovy day,
Eliza :)
I have never been to Paris but my dad lived there for about 8 years, that's also where he and mum got married and had 6 weeks honeymoon. About my name you pronounce it like the way you say (help) but people pronounce it
