BABY NAMES....

Names….what’s in a NAME ??

Both Hubby and myself have finally chosen a name for our darling baby gal….HALF NAME actually…haha !!

~ Kristen ~

Canggih ?? Sophisticated ?? It’s sounds nice and besides…not that common…so it’s confirmed !! :)

Kristen origins from a Latin word, meaning ‘ follower of Christ’. Thought that would be meaningful…although we didn’t checked it out whether was is a Catholic name. It goes well with hubby’s surname too….and like what * Momo Chin* says….it’s K…in the middle….just nice.

We are still in the midst of finding the Chinese name…..been slacking on it since we both are ‘bananas’….
Got some help from colleagues and friends who knows the mother-tongue…
It’s HARD…..not too mentioned, we have to translate it to Cantonese since Hubby is a Cantonese. All the pronunciation sounds weird in Cantonese.

I was thinking of :

Su Lynn ( NOT Su Lin – too Chinese )

Don’t know what it means….but I like the LYNN – sounds more English…and not too Cina…. Hahaha….

Our daughter ( Yes….doctor confirmed it again recently during my 8th month check-up that it’s a GIRL !! ) will be the First Girl in the THAM family. So, there isn’t any Chinese names to follow ….
We get to pick ANY NAMES that we like…..sounds easy enuff huh ??


Maybe my mum n ah ma can help – should ask them soon before the baby pops !!

Anyway…..if anyone has any idea….do drop a comment or two yah….

Love ,
~Prettilly Auntie

Momo, your friend wants something to go with 'lian' (lotus). But in cantonese..so it's 'lin' (but she wants lynn)...
