11、on a name.Pop culturePop culture plays a big part in some parents choice of names. Disneys hit movie “Frozen” may give us more girls named Elsa.

12、Kate Middleton and Prince William may push the girls name Charlotte up to one in 2015.Wild wordsA few countries ban a number of names for different reasons.

13、ildren from being bullied(欺负) or mistreated. In Malaysia, parents are not allowed to name children after animals, fruits or vegetables.

15、Lexus and Rolex come to mind. But when the economy is bad, new parents may want a more grounded name with a nature theme.

A number of others, many of whom, like Rowling, are British, were writing fantasy novels before J. K. Rowling was born.One such writer

19、is George MacDonald, a Scottish author, best known for his novels Phantastes and Lilith.

21、Vanes experiences, MacDonald explores the question of what it means to be human.Another British fantasy writer, C. S. Lewis, acknowledged that he was grateful to George MacDonald.

22、 of mythical power, is a group of seven books tied together more by the fictional world they created than by the description of a particular characters experiences.Narnia is a magical place where animals can talk and time progresses at its own rate.
