Every year in English-speaking countries,people list the most popular names.Here are some examples.In the United States at the moment,the three most popular names are Emily,Emma,and Madison.For boys,they are Michael,Joshua and Mathew.In Britain parents today might call their little girl Grace,Jessica or Ruby.If they have a little boy,they could call him Jack,Thomas or Oliver.
In China names have very clear meanings.If a girl is called Mei,her name means"beautiful".If a boy is called"Wu",his name means"like a soldier".Names in English-speaking countries are like this too.The girl's name Joy is probably chosen because the parents with their daughter to be joyful and bring joy to others.If a girl is Ruby,it may be because of the beautiful valuable stone.
Parents often pick names that can be shortened.They might choose such names because they want to be able to speak to their child in a personal way.
For exampale,a popualr name is William.But William can be shortened to Will,Willy,Bill and Billy.The same is true of the favourite old name for a girl,Elizabeth.Elizabeth can be shortened to Beth,Liza and Liz.
Another reason children get the names is that parents want their boy or girl after someone who is famous,such as an actor,a pop star or sports star.David is a popular name in Britain,partly because David Beckham is a famous footballer.

70.At the moment,Michael is one of the three most popular names for boys___ while Grace for___ in Britain.
