[mutti]

[thewife]

Moogen, Juni

leia loves the waterplay outside kou fu.

anybody esle?

 

[mmqq]

mist, i see i see.
so your hb also got two names there. no wonder got confused la.

by the way, when we request to put tian's name (in bracket) but that person said cannot leh. maybe both of us also dun have such pattern of name, that's why.
ended up tian also has one name... which is not really dialect, also not really pinyin. nevermind. her mum thinks that it looks cool, can already.

pink, my gan is not the same as xavier's gan.
bu both of us also gan.... confusing?

 

[thewife]

QQ
xavier's one is 干.
how about yours?

 

[thewife]

im thinking of this name if it's a girl
Lois Tan Ruo Xi 陈若希

 

[mmqq]

pink, mine is 颜

 

[thewife]

QQ
Xavier's is really Gan 干, exact pronounication.
my SIL has a awful name - Shu4 Gan1

 

[mmqq]

pink. wah..
your sil's name is not very nice to pronounce hor.

ruo xi, lois.. wah you always have cool names.

 

[paxeng]

harlow mommies! jus made mini heart jellies in pink n white for the kids' ND celebration in school tmr.

we still at names?

 

[thewife]

pax
no lah. very quiet today...
wana go sentosa on monday?

 

[astro_pro]

pink: i like ur chinese name..
but let me be the devil adovocate .. if nvm read lois's name properly.. or read too fast. pple might misread it as an animal -- Loris..

and ur sil.. wah.. shu gan? dried tree trunk?

 

[mmqq]

astro,

yi4 heng2 is not bad too.. forgot to tell u.

 

[mmqq]

somemore, its jiang yi4 heng2.
so nice.

 

[autum]

pink,
i thot it sounded like lor-si (hokkien).. lor-si is nails right? haha

 

[astro_pro]

QQ: one row.. is it yi hang or yi heng ah?
star yesterday pointed out as yi hang leh .. i confused.

 

[mmqq]

autum, the ruo si is nice when pronouce in cantonese. you try?

 

[thewife]

QQ
astro already said Yi4 Heng2 sound like 1 row. hahaha.

Astro
not confirmed yet. Lois is a confusing name - some say its Loi + s, some say its Lo + is. Mr Tan the name is too masculine. sound like Louis.

ya dried tree trunk, i always cannot help laughing at her name.

my dad's name is also funny. they reported his name as Chuw Kiat supposed to be 俊杰 - quite stylo for his era rite? somehow it was translated to 水湖 the pond. hahhaa so he was pissed living with this name for the past many yrs till somehow he managed to change it to the correct name recently

 

[paxeng]

pink
maybe catching the new Pixar movie UP with the kids. vv good reviews wor. ask mr pax later.

 

[mmqq]

astro, yi heng is " one horizontal row"
yi hang is "one row" be it horizontal or vertical... as long as it is one row.

but can not be necessary that bad one la la. its very sun4 er3 when combine with jiang.

 

[autum]

QQ,
how to pronounce in canto?? i not sure le.

 

[thewife]

autum
ya i tot of Lo - si (hokkien) too
thats why i chose Ruo instead of Luo.
i like the meaning...it means she's like my hope. not many strokes, easier for her to write unlike Leia's chinese name.

 

[astro_pro]

pink: that name of what origin? .. if it is french.. then it will be pronounced as 'L-wah'.. which is spicy in hainanese!

wah. how come chuw kiat can be translated into pond?! that is too far fetched leh

 

[mmqq]

autum,
its chan3 nyok1 hei1.

jiang yi heng, jiang yi heng.

 

[babylovespink2]

More on names..

Pink: I like Lois. Lois and Clark, she's Superman's girl friend. I think you don't pronounce the "s". It's silent.

Astro: Jiang Yi Heng sounds like the name of some handsome taiwanese movie star. Somehow I think of Chin2 Han4.

 

[astro_pro]

QQ: so both star and i were right .. ha.. ya. jiang when matched against yi.. something sounds nice..

 

[thewife]

astro
Yi4 Heng2 Yi4 Shu4 一横一竖 are the strokes for chinese character. Yi Heng is 1 horizontal line.

Yi Hang is 1 row.

 

[mmqq]

AA, there is one singer called jiang yi heng, if i am not wrong.
many ppl are called yi heng, heng yi.

 

[babylovespink2]

QQ: Not Chan Nyok Xi? Then even nicer.. But Pink is not Cantonese right?

 

[enne]

astro-yi rui ??

pinkpink-Ruo Xi is nice...

 

[babylovespink2]

QQ: Really got singer called that name.. Hee.. Very easy sounding and to remember name.

 

[mmqq]

AA, that word is hei... not xi.
pink is not canto.

but this lois very hard to pronouce hor.?

 

[autum]

QQ,
i know the Hei1 (xi1) part.. but the ruo4, i don't know how to translate..

 

[astro_pro]

QQ likes yi heng a lot!
more horizontal lines for her pls!

AA: if the S is not pronounced.. then most likely it is french orgin liao..
ha.. that's why i said.. mr kong's name.. very difficult not to be cheena sounding

the other time.. i was saying.. why not jiang yong something?? .. then miser immediately said i crazy.. how can the son share the same character as him? then i was like.. yahor.. if not like his brother like that.. then i was also thinking of jiang shi(4) something... then end up worse.. coz then will become miser's uncle! coz my fil is jiang shi jie! whahahah

 

[babylovespink2]

QQ: Scroll up to check the character. It's the xi is hope (xi wang), so it's hei. To have "xi" pronounciation in cantonese, what character must it be?

 

[babylovespink2]

teacher? lion? CMI.. got nicer ones??

 

[mmqq]

AA, that singer is called.
姜育恒

this didi teng;s name is diff.
江奕恒

 

[astro_pro]

enne: which rui? 瑞？？ but put together like no meaning leh..

actually rui teng is very nice.. but ah. i haven't figure how to call/seperate the two boys.. can't be both i call teng teng mah? .. or da teng, xiao teng??

 

[babylovespink2]

QQ: Yah, I know this singer.. Yah, different pronounciation.. Off my mind, can't remember his famous songs.. But I know he has quite a few.. zai4 hui2 shou3 is it by him?

 

[autum]

astro,
then u call him rui rui lor.

 

[mmqq]

AA, the possible xi are:

施, 师, 丝....

 

[astro_pro]

pink: if pple pronounce as lo-is ah.. then they are really pronouncing the name of that animal liao!(short of the r sound) and that animal is. ahmmm.. kind of ugly one leh

QQ:i got ot concur that put the three characters together.. it looks very nice!

 

[babylovespink2]

Astro: Then you can call didi by an abbreviation of his eng name. If you pick, Randall, can call him "rand rand".

 

[thewife]

AA
faintz..now there's a 3rd version of pronounciation for Lois
Mr Tan said Lois Lane sound more feminine after combining with Lane.

Astro
Chuw in hokkien can also be translated to water水. how kiat becomes 湖Hu..im not sure

pax
any link for the pixar movie?

 

[astro_pro]

autum: ya.. yesterday i was thinking of that! whahaha. chiam. we are starting this again. i can't stop laughing

 

[mmqq]

astro, cannot la.

later big teng small teng.
if get the 3rd teng then how?

my auntie's grandson..
1. gorgor
2. di di
3. xiao di di
4. xiao xiao di
5. also a boy, but i really dunno what is his name.

i got so confused.

 

[babylovespink2]

Pink: Maybe I'm wrong.. Without the "s", it is very class sounding. "lo-wee".

 

[astro_pro]

AA: that sounds like 'run run!'.. then forever didi teng will be running?!!

oh ya. english name also haven't settled.. headache! whahahah

pink: yalor.. very far fetched leh.. u mean ur dad was really called shui hu for so long?!

 

[enne]

astro-睿 , this is the 'rui' I used for my kids middle name too. it means 'clever'
rui zhi de rui

not min rui de rui

 

[mmqq]

oh my god.. i cannot stop laughing.

AA, i am not sure what are his songs leh.. haha!
