Your Name Please?!
Names. I bet it is for a lifetime, unless you decide to change your name legally (deed poll) or call yourself differently. A K A. Also known As. So you either love or hate the names given by your parents. Better still, some parents came out with stupid nicknames for their children e.g. like rebut, pungot, gembel, petum and so on. At times, I am sure we do wonder, what they were thinking.
For me, I knew the reason of my name. My mum is super shameless haha; she was knocked down by my dad, while he was riding on his Vespa. Thank god she was not badly injured, so dad offered to send her home. Really like drama Hindustan~ but it's a true story. She introduced herself as "S------"! Well that is how I got my name. I grew up thinking it was a fairytale, but one day I received a phone call looking for my dad, I informed the caller my dad is not around, he then asked "S------ ada?" I said yah speaking, he sounded a bit blur, and then he asked again. "S------ ada?" By then I was kind of irritated, I thought it was a prank call, so I passed the phone to mum. My mum started talking and laughing on the phone. After she hung up, she said "I was known as S------ before." Irritating right??? Sharing my name with my own mum!!!! Anyone has the same problem?
So deciding on names is not an easy task. We must think of all the possibilities.
1. Sounding weird to other races, making it difficult to pronounce, in the end your kids will be mock at.
2. Super long names, next time masuk JB fill in customs form no space man!
3. Starting with letter A, you must think, during oral examination, he/she will be the first to go. Then during exams he/she will be right in front, due to the index number if it is in alphabetical order.
4. Then if it's starting with letter Z, then your kid can wait NONG NONG for his turn to come during oral examinations.
I bet it's not an easy task. When I said this to my friends, they started laughing at me, I am not kidding, and seriously having a proper name is of great importance. Who knows next time my kid becomes an astronaut. Then, a simple & glamorous name will be easier to remember right?!
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z.
Hmm which letter should we start with? Did I just make it sound so difficult??
