Three friendly ideas

  • Every name starts with a capital letter: Ravi, Meena, Asha, Sunpur.
  • It does not matter where the name sits in the sentence — the first letter is always a capital: “My friend Ravi is here.”
Remember: your own name always begins with a CAPITAL letter.
  • A name is a special naming word for one person, pet or place: Ravi, Tommy (a dog), Sunpur (a town).
  • A general word like boy, dog, town uses a small letter; the special name uses a capital.
  • Ask politely: “What is your name?” Tell kindly: “My name is ___. Nice to meet you!”
  • Saying someone’s name correctly shows you respect them.

Practise.

Turn to a friend and say, “Hello, my name is ___. What is your name?” Big smiles all round!

Hi! Ask me why names start with a capital letter, what a name word is, or how to ask a friend their name politely. I will keep it simple.
