I don't want to know the names of any Generals or famous people, just regular names. I have to write a story for my social studies class and I can't think of any names. If you know any names (boy and girl) or any websites that would have names, it would really help. Thank you!

What are some common names for grandmother and grandfather in Ireland?
I am writing a story and I would like it to be genuine, I am looking for nick names or endearing names or any respectful slang for grandparents.
What are some common names for grandmother and grandfather in Ireland?
I'm Irish, born, bred and live here........middle aged
I called both my Grandmothers 'Granny' - and my children did the same.
One of my Grandfathers was Grampa - the other Grandfather (following what my city cousins called that Grandfather)The only other way I have ever heard a person who lives in Ireland address their Grandfather was as Grandad, if they did not speak Irish
Todays children use some of the names which children from outside Ireland use - thanks to television maybe. Names such as Papa or whatever - although I'm inclined to think that those who call their Grandfather Papa usually come from European extraction - children of my friends who were born in France, they call their Grandfather Papa

Reply:Mommy and Daddy.. I have Irish friends that are in their late 40's and 50's who still refer to their parents in this way.
Reply:papa and da are both names for grandfathers i think.
Reply:Names for Grandmother
Most English-speaking children call their grandmothers Granny, Grandma, Mammaw, or Nana.
Children would call their grandmother Maime贸 (MAM o), or M贸ra铆 (MO ree).
Names for Grandfather
Most English-speaking children would call their grandfathers Grandad, Pop, Papa, or Pappaw
Children would use Daide贸 (Daddo)or sometimes M贸ra铆 (MO ree) when addressing their grandfathers.
Reply:All my great grandparents came from Ireland and they used Grandmam and Grandpap.

Why is Luke the least common name of the four gospel names?
A lot of people have the names John, Mathew and Mark but very few Lukes. The Star War film in the 70's resulted in a small surge of kids being named Luke, but prior to that the only time you heard the name Luke was the bad guys in cowboy western films and tv series. Why is this so?
Why is Luke the least common name of the four gospel names?
Although the mention of Luke's name is the lesser, his Work of the Bible is the greater in Chapters
Reply:its only what you notice. I find there are far to many Marys around but very few Miriam's Luke was not one of the disciples maybe that was why its not such a common christian name.
My son Joseph had a good Friend Luke and Stephens best friend was James all bible names.
Reply:not sure it does sound like a harder name like kurt, kole, klell, it has that K sounds maybe thats why people didnt use it so much...I think it's a cool name
Reply:I know many people named Luke. Perhaps it is just in your area.
Reply:i'd say it was quite a popular name
Reply:I'd be far more worried about naming my kid Luke and having him whine about Tashi station...
Dunno honestly. As a mom, I can say that I don't like the "uke" sound. Ya mook. :)

Reply:Throughout Europe, 'bible' names or variations of them were very popular in every era.
Some of the more common names in England, for example would be Mary, Martha, Hannah, Sarah, Susan and Ann.
All of these biblical names had variations ~ Sally (from Sarah); Nan (from Ann); Sukie (from Susan), etc.
Surnames, or last names, have different derivations. Most women took their father's surname on birth and their husband's later in life.
English, or 'peasant' names were often descriptive, such as 'Smith', 'Farmer' or 'Cooper' (both trade names which indicate the line of work the first named male was in), or 'Lambton' which indicates the family comes from a certain place. Another source of surname was to describe a characteristic, such as the name 'turnbull', which apparently originallly meant 'turns bulls (or brave) when needed'
Names with a french derivative were commonly aristocratic or middle class names.
Cheers :-)

Common names?
What are some common names of some archaebacteria and protists?
Common names?
slime molds, one celled algae, water molds are protists, but im not sure if those are really common names.
sorry:(
Reply:I don't think they use common names for archaebacteria and protist. Generally they are list by a habitat or the disease it causes.
