What's your name?

Today I find something interesting about people's name. The name of oneself can give information about the it's background. Names in middle east and Europe has different styles. They usually have a very long name. For example, some people put their grandfather's family name, father's name before their name. They may even put 8 or 9 generations of their grandparents before their name. So other people will put their father's family name, the mother's name and their name. Thus depends on different cultures, we can see information about one's family from their names.

    * "So" is used when the previous sentence and the following sentence are on the same topic and it comes as a before-after situation. "So" cannot be used in the context you stated because the first instance is not related to the 2nd instance. perhaps you should have used "on the other hand", "while"... etc..
    - thus DEPENDING on.... we can "gather" information...
