Everyone has one, but not everyone knows what it means. We went out to ask random strangers what their name was and what it meant. The results were everything from cute to concerning.

The story and idea was interesting, with lots of different and interesting names and meanings. It did kind of leave you hanging because it just had names spoken and then later they were explained, but no context as to which names meant what. The music bed was an interesting choice, and there probably could’ve been another one chosen to better fit the story. It was edited well, but overall the project just lacked a sense of completeness with the meanings being separate from the names.

This story caught my attention at first but as the names started to roll on it seemed like the point was made and that you should have then gone onto the meaning of the names. Also and elaboration on the whole idea would have been nice just so I could leave the story with a better thought of the depth behind names. Although I did enjoy your music bed and it almost took me to a different place. Very unique and interesting story.

Interesting. I would have liked to have heard more meanings, as the clip seemed to be a little short for what it was trying to accomplish. It was well edited, and all the other factors, including the music bed, were well done, but it just needed a little more information. However, I thought it was well made.

I really like the idea behind this, because I am sure that many people have very unique names with equally unique meanings. However, I think that if we heard the names with the meanings together it would make a little more sense. I think that you could have used a different music bed though and i feel that something else would have suited the story a little better. I also think the actualities worked really well with the topic and helped to enhance the meaning of the story.

I like the context behind this one, but I was sad we couldn’t find out which names meant which. I think I would’ve put the names and their meaning together, just to clear it up a bit. This is a small problem, but I don’t think that the music bed fit as well as something else could’ve. Though, the idea was really good and I did enjoy listening to it and stayed interested throughout the story, I thought that the actualities were nice and sounded organized too. Good job!
