They have named their baby after a continent. Do you like it? Would you like to have "a place name"? If yes, which one ? Paris ? Beaumont????
Do you think life is sometimes difficult when you have an original name? Watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwjWA5pg-ps
You can activate subtitles to help you ;)
What's the problem? Where does she come from? Why is she so attached to her name?
Feel free to talk about your own names if you want!
I'm waiting for your comments! See you soon!

She loves her name, but I don't understand why. River? Island?
She loves her name because it tells about her husband's past. It tells about the history of her family. Do you understand? :)
