Your poor friend certainly didn't get a headstart in life!Originally posted by fudgester:Well, a friend of mine once told me about a Malay friend of his who was named..... Anal (say: 'Ah-nal').
It's not a Muslim name, and it means nothing in Malay.... apparently his parents simply thought that it was 'cute' and sounded affectionate.
Guess they didn't realise what a major faux pas that would be in the English-speaking world.

I LOOOOOOVE the name Aidan!!Originally posted by Kuali Baba:I can't remember any particularly weird names other than those that appear in the papers. My cousins stuck to pretty normal names when it came to christening their babies, 'Aiden' was about the most extraordinary it got.
My sister recalls a Malay ex-colleague called Juraimi. It seems like a difficult name to fault but her ex-boss was unable to get either his memory or his tongue around it - he was called everything from 'Jeremy' to 'Gurami'.
Celtic name. Was going to name my son Aidan but now that I've decided no kids for me, oh well, maybe if I have a nephew, I'll suggest that name. hehe! -

A deed poll oughta be on the cards for him.Originally posted by Rhonda:Your poor friend certainly didn't get a headstart in life!
Seriously, his parents oughta do some serious, serious self-reflection on what they were thinking when they gave him that name.
It's one thing to give a so-called 'cute-sounding' name.... but at least you want to give a name that has a good meaning behind it.
Like Kareem Abdul Jabbar.... his name means 'A Noble Servant of The Mighty'.
Or Zinedine Yazid Zidane.... 'A beautiful ornament of the Faith that spreads the Faith'.
At the very least.... avoid a name that can lead to faux pas and ridicule! -

You didn't read Shro's post earlier about Chee Hong, did you? Or remember that lecturer whose name circled the Web umpteen times over?Originally posted by SBS3625D:Best is give chinese name, unlikely to go wrong. -
Actually, when I was born, my grandma wanted to name me "Yeng Yong"or something like that. My mom put her foot down and insisted no!Originally posted by SBS3625D:Best is give chinese name, unlikely to go wrong. Thank God! cause in the end, she gave me a nice-sounding Chinese name, not knowing that because of the strokes she used, the literal translation of my chinese name is "Swallow (the bird) Duckweed".

Part 1
i was on the way to my company dinner...
right outside the blardy hotel, as i stepped out of the cab, the strap of one of my heels gave way.
i had this safety pin on me, so i thought to pin it together and hope it last thru the night..
so there i was, standing right outside city hall, giggling and trying to pin a shoe all at the same time... -

Part 2
right after the first course was served, i started getting some kind of allergic reaction..
and i started sniffling and sneezing. my eyes started leaking for no reason and my mascara started to run.
mind u, that was a blardy smudge proof mascara.
so i had this unintentional panda eyed look the whole night lol
