Circle the main idea statement: The students tease Chrysanthemum about her name, and she feels horrible. Ask students to explain their thought processes, and why they chose this statement. Write the following on chart paper: Chrysanthemum's parents still think that her name is perfect.
Best Answer: First name (two words, not one): it is also called given name or Christian name. It is the name your parents give you at birth (Paul, Brenda, etc). Last name (also two separate words): this is your family name, also called surname.Examples are Smith, Flintstone, Churchill.irst Name is the name given to you. Last name is the Family name or sometimes Father s name. It s not Sir Name but Surname, which is same as the Last Name. Vijay Kumar Chenna Â· 3 months ago.
Surname and last name both imply position, assuming a construct of given name, family name. This doesn't work in countries that reverse this to family name, given name, like China. Using family name and given name avoids the confusion of having last names first and first names last. share | improve this answer.
