emiliAduka - this is our now..

WAT'S IN A NAME?
We've been told, reminded, warned (?), that a child's name is very important. Wat with the Papa itself emphasizing the need to have a name that is "recognised" in Islam. I acknowledged that need but i also acknowledged the fact that as a girl, i'm prone to beautiful things - and that include names!..

and soooooo, i had went in search of beautiful names with beautiful meaning(s)... and last nite, we managed to agree on a girl's name... but we've yet to agree on a boy's name... waaahahhahaa.... i dun quite like the name that the Papa has chosen coz i juz felt that i couldn't quite "sync" it... On the other hand, he's oredi let me have my way with the girl's name and so, isn't it just right to let him have his way for a boy's name?.... hmmmm...... perhaps we should juz combine the names!!!..... kwang... kwang.. kwang... but we've decided that our child (or children in future) will only have a simple name for reasons:

1. we can all call him/her by his/her full name. No short-forms. No calling by first names
2. the grandparents and great-grandmother can remember the name easily.
3. the child don't have to "struggle" writing down their names during class, exams or filling out an application form!...
4. and it'll make it easier for parties involved to pronounce their names during akad nikah (solemnisation).. hehehe..

No offence to anyone... this is juz what we want for our child.. hmmm... and so, the dilemma continues.... but luckily, we've still got a bit of time before we know for sure what the gender of the babe is and we've got abt 4 more mths to go before it pops out! ;)
