all about the names

On my way to paris this year, i sat next to this wise chinese guy who told me tht he believes the name of a child will set precedence over the life this child is going to have. Guess wht his child's name is? FEI LONG. as in flying dragon. He must really want his son to be ferocious and scaly-and not to mention a frequent flyer.

According to him, it doesn't apply to english names. But tht's not to say it's OK to name ur son Willy, or Billboard, or Rambo.

So anyway, i know u must wonder if we have names for Tamagotchi. Of course we do!

If we have a boy, our boy will be named Dylan. After Bob Dylan.

And if we're having a girl, she will be Jade, named after Mick Jagger's daughter Jade Jagger (her full name is Jade Sheena Jezebel Jagger) but of course we won't do the whole shebang, Sheena Jezebel just doesn't go with Ng. But the idea is for our girl to be the daughter of a rockstar, haha.

People usually give the thumbs up for Dylan (although some say it reminds them of 90210 Dylan), we get more question marks on Jade. It doesn't matter. U can name ur kids whtver u want when u have ur own. Let us name our kids whatever WE want.

This brings me to a recent conversation i had with a long lost friend. She told me that Jade reminds her of Jade Goody- a british reality star dying of cervical cancer. She suggests another name - Siobahn. Okay when i saw the name i wasn't even sure how to pronounce it. Of course i politely declined her offer and told her tht i'd stick to Jade.

but wht i really wanted to say was, she can keep tht name for her own daughter. Better still she can name her son Siobak.

bitchy i know. it's the hormones talking.
