It was easy choosing a name for my kid. I didn't have to crack my head too much. If it's a boy, he takes after my initial ‘J'. If it's a girl, then she would take hubby, Chris' initial. I named my son Jaymes. Many people mispronuounced it. The 'Y' is silent,ok.
Unique huh! My name is unique too. :)
er ..... yes. I just anyhow hantam (select). I googled and found out that 'Jaymes' means supplanter - a person who takes over the place of another person. He better not take over the place of another husband. Take over the place of President and Prime Minister is still ok.
Oh, if I had a daughter, she would be called Crystal then. Now I have changed my mind to Amber. Not gonna have any more kids lah, factory closed production. I will give the name to my granddaughter. :)
Now I tag these people with kids :
1) nyonyapenang
2) zara's mom
3) lilMrsT
4) stay-at-home-mom
5) Hijackqueen
I'm a busybody, want to know why you choose the names for your children lah.
1) Msaufong - Meaning Of SQ & Kiki’s name
2) Miche - My ACB

Hello Hijackqueen!
Welcome.
Good leh you... got a future 007 agent close to you ;)
Hi angel!
Yes! haha....
Cheh.. no meaning one lar?? Just hantam only?
Me also lar.. no meaning.. that's why don't know how to do this tag.
Oh ya, must find out the meaning hor. -_-""
Ok ... try google.
Waaa, you already decided your grandchild's name!! Good good! Be assertive! Stand no nonsense from Jaymes! *grin*
yes... yes...lb!
hahaha....
hmmm... that reminds me, have another 10 names to pick. I want a soccer team of grandchildren!
This meme is fun. I named my junior Jadon - dropping the usual 'e' and replaced it with an 'o' to make it looks more masculine. Some pple dunno how to pronounce it. They call him Ja (as in JAR) and Don (as in DONNY). Sound like jagong (corn?) in malay. But Jaymes is unique.
hehehe ... sorry, c sim.
I couldn't help chuckling to myself becos I couldn't pronounce the name either.
It does sound like jagong. *grin*
Jaymes' spelling is very unique!
Hi rinnah.
Oh yes, it is unique. :)
Speaking of child names, I was reading Freakonomics and it was talking about how a child name is an indicator of his/her family. Was an interesting read.
I didn't get to name the Grandkids...My daughter Jennifer named my Granddaughter Raine, I asked her if the Grandson would be Storm?? At first I didn't like Raine but now I love it..My grandson's name is Haven!!
It seems such an art choosing names for one's child.
hahahaha... factory closed already. well... it can always recommence its operation...i am sure the manufacturing process is still going on still... just that there is no finished goods... :P
Good to know you are still here, ECL. I don't have any children, but Sarah, Jane and Heather are favourite girls' names I would choose.
arzhou,
I was reading Freakonomics and it was talking about how a child name is an indicator of his/her family.
Really? Lend me the book.
Tom,
You have grandkids already! Wow!
I like the names Raine and Haven. Cool!
oceanskies,
Oh yes, to some people it's very important to pick the right name, for fengshui purpose. Especially Chinese believe in this.
zewt,
Equipment old, rusty and full of cobwebs lah. How to restart? Product might be defective. hehehe....
Captain Picrad,
Sarah, Jane and Heather are popular names. I like all 3. My name's the 2nd one. :)
