Hi rhonda Smile Welcome back to PCland... it is very liberating to live without a PC.. I have to confess my longest period though was only about 6 months when I was in US.
The hubby is fine and my kitty likes him more than she likes me. *jealous*

somehow, i always find paintings/pictures of cats enchanting too. It's their versatility to be mysterious, stubborn, playful, temperamental, affectionate and snobbish - all at the same time! So much emotions in one little ball of fur.

fudgester SG

So.... he gave himself that name? Laughing

ShrodingersCat SG

mebbe his parents conceived him at the galleria lafayette shopping place.. issit spelt tt way? hahah they had a branch here last time!

I know guys named mario and valentino... their parents named them.. :O

the Bear SG

well, some parents should be shot..

remember the idiots in NZ wanted to name their child 4Real? they ended up naming their child Superman...

in the same vein (vain? ), Nic Cage named his son Kal-el

SevenEleven SG

Ha...I had wanted to give my daughter name as "yu tong (hanyu)", pronoun as Yee Tong but so happened an indian friend read is as You Tong. So the name never materialised Laughing

fudgester SG

Well, a friend of mine once told me about a Malay friend of his who was named..... Anal (say: 'Ah-nal').

It's not a Muslim name, and it means nothing in Malay.... apparently his parents simply thought that it was 'cute' and sounded affectionate.

Guess they didn't realise what a major faux pas that would be in the English-speaking world.

Confused

SBS3625D SG

That's waaay too bad. Laughing

But unless you behave like an ah-nal, then shouldn't be much of a problem.

ShrodingersCat SG

nowadays a lot of strange baby names actually. no more george or mary or jane or john

its like the guys who are named zhihong and ended up cheehong.

Kuali Baba SG

I can't remember any particularly weird names other than those that appear in the papers. My cousins stuck to pretty normal names when it came to christening their babies, 'Aiden' was about the most extraordinary it got.

My sister recalls a Malay ex-colleague called Juraimi. It seems like a difficult name to fault but her ex-boss was unable to get either his memory or his tongue around it - he was called everything from 'Jeremy' to 'Gurami'.

jetta SG

How's this for names? A couple here named their two girls, Anasazi and Pocahontas. Shocked

SBS3625D SG

WTF...shoot the parents!

Kuali Baba SG

Such parents are actually thinking more about themselves their their children. The kids become objects they can use to boast about their “creativity” (contrivity is a better description).

SevenEleven SG

I had a friend whose name is call Elvis because both the parents are fans of Elvis Presely Confused

jetta SG

What's his surname?

SBS3625D SG

Shoot the parents!

jetta SG

Guess the parents love American Indian names. Personally, I hate unusual names. Only because I have one myself. Unusual enough to be the only person in the entire school with this name. Grrrr!!! Any wonder why I gave my kids classic names?

SevenEleven SG

teo...happened to be you? Shocked

SBS3625D SG

But at least not Pocahontas!!!! Puts perspective to the name: Atom leh, blah blah.

jetta SG

Elvis Teo(k) sabo. Laughing
