Education › Re: My Name Is OR My Names Are,which Is Grammatically Correct? by mekadinho(f): 12:09pm On Jul 04, 2015 |
MizMyColi: well, here's my reasoning...
In a sane world, no body has just one name. The family is the smallest unit of human interactions and an emotional centre of sorts.
We'd all be lost if we had no family to identify with, which explains the reasons a sane human would normally crave for a sense of belonging....
Now this family you belong to has a name, that is first and foremost, who you are.
Which is why you don't hear people like Khloe Kardashian saying, "I am a Khloe"...but you can hear her saying "I am a Kardashian" There's something about pedigree that speaks volumes of the stuff you're made of.
In other words, your surname and your name are dependent on each other and actually function as ONE when it comes to introducing yourself in a formal/semi-formal setting.
So, I'd rather go with my name IS Margaret Thatcher. As far as identifying me is concerned, none is complete without the other. I am Margaret and I'm a Thatcher. In other words, my name is Margaret Thatcher.
"My names are" should, or, can be used when you need to make known your different names/titles, which to a very large extent are independent of the other.
For Example;
His name is Jehovah Elshaddai.
And
His names are Jehovah Elshaddai, Jehovah Tsidkenu, Jehovah Shammah, Jehovah Nissi..... Respectively. You catch my drift?

Give me a hug sweety... I was abt to type something but stopped when I saw ur write-up. |

omenka: I really feel bad for what Saraki and Dogara have done to Tinubu. The only thing that man didn't give to have APC stand where it is today was his life and it is only fair that he be given a very good spot to hang his hat.
Tinubu could, by way of vengeance, single handedly ensure APC doesn't return in 2019. If history has taught us anything, it taught us NEVER to underestimate the power and reach of that man. Trash! Stop deceiving urself, Tinubu has reached his limit, da law of diminishing returns is playing on him. |
