How and why was she named helen..narrate the naming incident ?
Answers
Helen was the first child in the family thus naming her was an exciting task which was not taken lightly. Her father decided to name her Mildred Campbell, after an admired ancestor. But her mother suggested a name for the baby after her grandmother's maiden name. Likewise she was named "Helen Everett" by her mother. However, her father, while taking her to church, forgot the name she was given. As father had declined to participate in the subject, he only remembered that she was to be named after her grandmother. The lapse of memory gave birth to Helen Keller's name, as she is known today.
Answer:
When the minister asked the name of the child, Helen's father could only remember that it was decided she would be named after her grandmother and gave his daughter the name Helen Adams.
