Dans ce court métrage d’animation, Christopher trouve que son nom est trop commun. Il décide de le changer encore et encore jusqu’à ce que cela lui pose problème à la banque. Tout le monde doute de son nom à un moment donné, et la présentation de ce film sera suivie d’une discussion animée et d’activités sur ce que les élèves pensent de leur nom. Sais-tu pourquoi on t’a donné ton nom? Si tu pouvais changer de nom, lequel choisirais-tu? Pourquoi? Crois-tu que le nom d’une personne devrait être choisi par ses parents? Pourquoi (ou pourquoi pas)?
