Ok. We've got to face it. We live in an asian country so our pronounciations all fucked up. PLEASE for the LOVE OF YOUR CHILD, don't give them names where it can ruin their lives.
Here's a few examples.
Nolan - means Chariot-fighter, champion
But in Asian countries, the older people, or the uneducated ones, or the ones who just want to take a piss out of his name, will call him NO-LAN. LAN = Dick ok! Means, he'll be no-dick. Boy, I want to see the guy who grows up being called no dick all the time!
Kendall -Exalted effigy
Such a beautiful English name. But in Msia and Sg, people will start calling her Candle. -_-'' Please. People here aren't sophisticated enough to accept this name!
Maddox - Good and Generous
While Angelina Jolie's adopted Asian son can be called that (because his family is classy), people here will only call him a Mad Ox. It's worse if he was born in the year of an Ox, and even more unfortunate if he has an explosive temper.
Mario - God of Mars
Whereas many celebs are called Mario because of their italian descents, people here will definitely think you're a short italian cartoon character who is always out desparately trying to save your princess peach, who is ALWAYS unforunately in another castle!
Miranda - She who must be admired
I got to admire this name when I watched Sex and the City. Miranda was this strong beautiful lawyer friend of stupid Carrie Bradshaw. She is gorgeous and funny. But here, when you say Miranda, people will say, Orange. Or Strawberry.
Maggie - Means Pearl
Short for Margret. Beautiful name. But here, when I say Maggie, you say............................? I guess you know the answer already!
Colby
One of the more popular names now. But Colby only sounds like dog fart in mandarin. >_<
Madelyn
Another beautiful english name which I wanted to name my daughter when I was a little kid. Then as I repeated that name several times, it started to turn out like 'meddling'. I definitely don't want a meddling child! :(
I guess this is enough to show everyone that not every name is suitable for asian kids! Please choose properly. A name can make or break a life!
