title = "Doing Translocal Families Through Children{\textquoteright}s Names",
abstract = "Balode and Lulle draw on research focusing on migrant mothers{\textquoteright} and children{\textquoteright}s experiences of migration between Finland, Latvia and the UK during the 2010–2014 period. The forename is a crucial element of one{\textquoteright}s translocal identity and an embodied signifier in migration processes. The authors argue for a more nuanced understanding of the dynamic meanings attached to the forename in different times, spaces and social contexts. The name becomes a boundary work through which to signify a new {\textquoteleft}family-making{\textquoteright} as well as emphasising belonging to certain identities. This boundary also implies a future horizon as it is important for parents to imagine how a child will relate to his or her name throughout the life course in different cultures.",
