× It just come from my mother and father's name.
✓ It just comes from my mother and father's name.
The verb 'come' should be in the third person singular present tense 'comes' to agree with the singular subject 'It'. This is a subject-verb agreement issue.
× everyone calls me my name.
✓ everyone calls me by my name.
The phrase 'calls me my name' is incorrect; the correct expression is 'calls me by my name' to indicate how people address someone.
× I will think about history, I will think about tendency, modern and et cetera.
✓ I will think about history, tendencies, modern names, and so on.
The word 'tendency' should be plural 'tendencies' to match the context, and 'modern' should be specified as 'modern names' for clarity. 'Et cetera' is better replaced with 'and so on' in spoken English.
× But of course, I will give a chance historical names more than modern names because it's so interesting for me.
✓ But of course, I will give historical names more chance than modern names because they are more interesting to me.
The phrase 'give a chance historical names' is incorrect; it should be 'give historical names more chance'. Also, 'it's so interesting for me' should be 'they are more interesting to me' to agree with plural 'names'.
× Not not state I have not same names as me, but but my uncle, my grandfather, her grandfather, her grandfather had same names.
✓ No, I do not have the same name as anyone, but my uncle and my grandfather had the same name.
The original sentence is confusing and contains repeated words. 'Not not state' is incorrect; it should be 'No'. 'I have not same names as me' is incorrect; it should be 'I do not have the same name as anyone'. 'Her grandfather' is unclear and likely a mistake.
× And it's really interesting for me because it sounds good.
✓ And it's really interesting to me because it sounds good.
The phrase 'interesting for me' is less natural than 'interesting to me' in English.
× And how can I know what's happening in Chinese?
✓ And how can I know what's happening in China?
The preposition 'in' should be followed by the country name 'China', not the adjective 'Chinese'.
× Please come on, come on.
✓ Please, come on.
The repetition 'come on, come on' is unnecessary and awkward; a single 'come on' with a comma is sufficient.
× But I know that in Georgia, in different culture, in different century, the names are changing.
✓ But I know that in Georgia, in different cultures and centuries, the names have changed.
The singular 'culture' and 'century' should be plural 'cultures' and 'centuries' to match the context. Also, 'are changing' is better as 'have changed' to indicate past changes over time.
× I don't know what's happening in China, but I know that in Georgia we have some popular names like Georgie for men's and like Mariam for girls.
✓ I don't know what's happening in China, but I know that in Georgia we have some popular names like Georgie for men and Mariam for girls.
The phrase 'men's' is incorrect here; it should be 'men' as the plural noun. Also, 'like' before 'Mariam' is unnecessary.
