the same place and having the same name. Between the twelfth and sixteenth centuries, depending on the part of Britain, families began to add an extra name to baby's first name. Many surnames were given after a person's father or mother. In the Middle Ages the name of a newborn baby was not said out before christening. It was a widespread belief that witches and fairies used the names of their future victims in their spells. In some parts of Britain people used to call each other by nicknames in order to avoid the sound of their real names reaching the ears of cruel fairies. I think it's pretty weird to call each other by nicknames because of cruel faries.

Also when a person comes from a different society where different names for coloured people have different values. For example if one comes from Estonia where calling dark skinned people "black" could also be interpreted as they were filthy then he or she could easily offend someone by calling them "negro". In another language it is the polite way but in London it isn't. I think it would help to do some research before travelling and not to refer to coloured people with nicknames but with their real names. Racism is a serious problem not only in London but everywhere where different races meet. I don't think it has a solution but it could help to teach young people tolerance and acceptance.
