COUPLE WARNS OTHER COUPLES NOT TO NAME THEIR CHILDREN “KOK LONG, SHI TING”

My GF and I were discussing about family plan for the future. One of the topics was naming children. Studies have shown that bad naming is bad for kids as they may become a target for others.

I experienced that when I was in primary school due to bad name given by parents.

Name is one of the biggest challenges for parents. I wish parents to know naming kids is not creating a new username.

My partner and I talked about it and we came out with names to avoid:

1. Kok Long or Long Kok (you know, you know)
2. Jayden, Aden, j’den, Eden, Caden or whatever den
3. Chinese names with the initial of CB
4. Abcde (god this is legit name)
5. JJ, jay jay
6. Jezebel
7. Unisex names
8. Arson (God knows whether the parents know the meaning behind it)
9. Abcde
10. Virginia (people will call you as virgina instead)

Netizens’ comments

• I mean… I know a Dickson idk why would anyone name their son that. And pls don’t Jun Jie, Wei Xiang, Jia Jun, Wei Hao, Wen Jun, Heng Jie, And definitely not Daryl Ian Koshy
• Dont use “ting” or “ling” at the back
  Eg: Shaoting – shouti
  Yi ting- eating
  Yaoling- yellin
  Avoid “den” names.
• I saw someone in army with the name tag LJ Cheong
• Dont name your son as “Chee Wai” or “Chee Hong”. If your surname is Lim, dont give first name “Beh”.
  Go ns the encik ask: “Recruit! What is your name?”
  Your son: i am Lim Beh.
