My students in China got to choose their own names. For the youngest students who didn’t know any English, I gave them a few options and they would choose the one that sounded nicest. At some point though, they would get tired of that name and change it. I started teaching “Brett” in his first English class about 3 years ago. He recently emailed me to let me know his name is now Danny Black. He thinks it’s way cooler. But not as cool as the student who named himself Superman Spiderman BLOOD.
