One bad habit that I possess is I am overly sensitive to names that sound awkward or dirty. I would self-indulgently giggle (most of the time uncontrollably) to my heart's content. Please stop shaking your head! I know I have been very mean! But I just can't help it especially when it really tickles!
So, to all current and future parents out there, please be serious enough and extra careful when you are naming your child. Give him/her name that is meaningful and that would make him/her walk tall. Never make him the laughing stock that would adversely affect his self-esteem.
Avoid these names, please if you can:
Anne Chang (Mandarin)-Dirty
Anne Chin (Mandarin) - Keep quiet
Faye Chen(Mandarin) - Dusty
Carl Cheng(Hokkien) - Buttock
Monica Cheng(Hokkien) - Touching your buttocks
Lucy Leow(Hokkien) - You are dead
Jane Tan(Mandarin) - Frying eggs
Suzie Leow(Hokkien) - Lost till death
Henry Mah(Mandarin) - Hate your mum
Corrine Tai (Hokkien) - Poor fellow
Paul Chan(Mandarin) - Bankrupt
Nelson Tan(Mandarin) - Bird laying eggs
Leslie Tong(Mandarin) - Rubbish bin
Carmen Teng (Hokkien) - Leg hair long
Connie Mah(Cantonese) - Call your mother
Danny See(Hokkien) - Squeeze you to death
Rosie Teng (Hokkien) - Screws and nails
Pete Tsai(Hokkien) - Nose droppings
Macy Koh(Cantonese) - Never die before
Harry Kok (English) - You know what I mean
