It comes after news that the number of people in New Zealand able to speak te reo Māori is declining. What do you think? Should it be made compulsory? Do you think this will help retain the language?

How do you feel about your name?
Do you like it?
Do you hate it?
Do you want to change it?
One woman had her younger years tainted by the fact that she shared her name with five others in her class, so she changed it as soon as possible.
Now her daughter Esmee is about to start full-time education but will be sharing her name with two others in her class.
Horrified by this the mother posted to an anonymous parenting site if it would be unreasonable to change her daughter's name.
What do you think?
Has anyone in Franklin had a similar name situation?
What did you do about it?
Please put NFP if you don't want your comment printed.

These classes help us as we age to retain lower body and core strength, remaining active to avoid falls.
No-one is bullet proof, falls happen and some can result in broken bones, pain and long healing times and can also make us fearful of falling again. Losing confidence can really affect quality of life.
Live Stronger for Longer strength and balance classes are growing nationwide. Visit www.livestronger.org.nz and join a class near you, you’ll find lots of practical information, advice and resources on how to live an active, healthy and independent life.
Proudly brought to you by ACC, MoH, HQSC and your local community health providers.
