haha... thanks mummies for all ur input.
coz was just reading some article n reminded me about some talk previously about cow/tiger year etc. led me to wondering about whether some opinions towards cow/tiger/rat years are skewed from chinese horoscope compatibility!

tiffy
thanks lots for putting up the consolidated list of babies for us to vote. heehee.. save time having to scroll through all the previous posts.

[jas55]

Voted for all babies le. Include chloe in mumcentre! Good luck!

Have u have any friends by the name of "Danson"? Dun know whether is it a boy or girl name. Just suddenly tot of it. Cannot be found in baby names. Goes the same with Dayan. keke! this mummy just anyhow one lah.

Me very sick sick now. Throat infection, cough really bad. My voice change all the time. from old man's hoarse voice, sexy woman voice to 曾志伟's voice! Terrible. Doc says its highly infectious. But still has to take care of Dayan myself. No choice. Pray it doesn't spread to him.

 

[hippo18]

aria! dun call me shar-rie or shay-ree! hahaha.. i m used to "sherry" or "sher-rie" ('sher' as in usher) liao le.. =P names are very funny.. u are wat ur parents call u... and it will sound how ur parents want it to sound.. keke... just like adri's name.. i tell u.. i have heard so many "adrian" until i sianz, dun wana correct liao le.. ha!

 

[hippo18]

jas, ahahaha.. not anyhow la.. itz ur present to the boys! "Danson" sounds more for a boy! =)

poor u.. maybe u can wear a mask? drink lotsa water! must be very painfull.. i hate sore throats!! pain...

 

[ariajo]

hippo,
okay..to play save i call you "hippo"??sure won't get it wrong right? hehe....anyway, same same here.. many people call aria as "area" ..only a handful know how to pronounce "a-ria".. dunno whether did i make a bad choice for her or not

that's why some of you will hear me calling her "an-ya" cos this is what we call her at home. my ILs cannot pronounce her name properly especially my FIL.. sometimes they make fun of her name and say teh a-lia..haha....but i still angry ok?hehe..so, i "train" them to call her by her chinese name..

voted for shanice too at the huggies website.

 

[ariajo]

jas,
danson sounds like "handsome"

 

[ariajo]

[jas55]

Hippo,
Yes i put on a mask! Then the joker keep pulling and tear it away!! urrgh! He spoilt like 3 of it liao..i dun have le.
Aiya..i still prefer to call you "cherry" or Hippo. Keke!

 

[jas55]

Aria,
yaya..that's my purpose too! when i tot of Danson..handsome came into my mind. keke! So naughty of me.

 

[chintz]

Hippo! actually i saved ur number as HIPPO too.. easier la like that

 

[ecookie]

jas: danson sounds nice!
and drink more water.. cough can be v irritating. hope u ll recover soon!

 

[chintz]

Jas, Danson sounds unique, like Dayan somehow sounds very English to me leh hehe

take care Jas!

 

[hippo18]

aria, ya.. i tink u'd face those problems too... but itz okie! i still remember u asking us when u were preggy and 'searching' for a name! and most of us know how to pronounce it.. so i dun tink it will be much of a problem.. =P

jas, cherry?? buy from supermarket la! wahahaha.. LOL.. itz okie cos u are PREGNANT! hohoho.. just kidding.. itz reali ok.. i m so CUTE so cherry suits me fine.. *pukes*
Dayan sure curious one ma.. no choice lo.. gotta face away from him.. poor thing leh u.. ur back and leg much better anot?

Yah,u muz drink more water. Danson is a nice name

 

[chersam]

Jas: Is Danson pronounce as "Then Sen"? Same goes to Dayan, is it "Day Ian"?? Pardon me okie as I'm bad at pronouncing names. haha

[gingerleaf]

Cherie bear,
I voted for sharnice yesterday oreadi! hehe.

hippo,
i always call adri as air-dri-yann. Opps. Salah issit?

aria,
I hope I didnt pronouce aria salah. Its air-riya, right?

 

[chersam]

gingerleaf: Lyn is it pronounce as "Area lyn"? dun beat me up if i got it wrong hor

 

[gingerleaf]

Chersam,
Its pronouce as Air-rer-lin.
Like how you would pronouce Marilyn, but take away the 'M' la.

But we call her zining at home, seldom call her angmor name one. FIL wanted us to give her a christian name so that they cannot keep changing their names when they grow up. hehehe.

 

[ariajo]

gingerleaf,
haha.. you got it wrong.. it's "ah(without the h sound)-ria".. as in maria without the "m" sound..

 

[ariajo]

gingerleaf,
keke.. like the way you put it: Like how you would pronouce Marilyn, but take away the 'M' la.

 

[hippo18]

chersam, dayan is "day-yan".. the "yan" as in "ryan"..
lyn is "air-re-lyn'.. =)
no one will beat u up one la! i realise alot of names dat give pple problem starts wil "A"!!! oh my...

gingerleaf, i always hear u calling adri correctly leh! ha! the more we ponder, the more we'll tink we pronounce wrongly one.. LOL

 

[ariajo]

haha..gingerleaf, your FIL has a very unique thinking..haha...mm..your FIL very ang moh pai hor.. good also la

 

[chersam]

gingerleaf & Aria Jo: aiyo! both of u made my tongue twisted!!! haha

 

[ariajo]

ya..today, we're having tongue twister game...keke...

 

[hippo18]

gingerleaf, ur FIL very cute leh.. ha!
can u imagine my mum who is chinese-ed can pronounce adri's name better than my aunt who studied in US? pengz...

 

[chersam]

gingerleaf: We too! Family members all call her by chinese name. English name just for easier calling when she goes to school.

 

[chintz]

So is the way to pronounce Adri's name explained correctly by gingerleaf? i'm also curious hehe

 

[hippo18]

chintz, haha! itz "ay-dree-en".. the "en" as in "ryan" but softer.. ha! dunno how to describe la.. can call her "xing yi" or her many many other pet names too.. whahaha!

 

[cherie_bear]

i'm gg home le

Hv a good evening wif ur family!

 

[chintz]

thanks gingerleaf for voting!

hippo, i'll stick to ms notti then hehe.. xing yi is a very nice name too!

 

[karrie]

hi mummies, haha so cute to see everyone twisting their tongue around the different bb names!

Jas, i think Danson sounds rather distinguished

Matty can join the Adrienne (or is it Adrianne?) club liao...also frequently gets his name mispronounced. got mattis, matthews, matt-whatever lah...even my mum couldn't pronounce at first. in the end everyone call matty. now i dun think he knows his actual name. we call matthias, jian wen, all never respond...he only responds to "matty" hahaha...

thinking of naming no.2 Natalie if it's a girl...
