I'm tagged by Jean on the meaning of our children names.
Well, this will be an easier tag for me to start with. So here it goes and for record, as this is my 1st attempt to a tag, should there be an unforeseen 'mistake', please excuse me... : P
When Adrian and myself started to chose our children names, the options are quite simple:
1. It must start with an A
2. It must be at least 2 syllabus names, adrian find that it is hard to call a single syllabus name.
So with these 2 options in mind, we started to look around bookshop for Baby namers reference books.
ANTHEA Tan I-Yu (陈艾妤) : Anthea - a 3-syllable girl's name of Greek origin, means: Flower.
Anthea's due date was in the month of April which symbolised spring when Flowers bloom. Also being a girl, we hope that she will be Blessed with good natures and inner beauty.
When i chanced upon this name, i knew it was a perfect match.
ANDERS Tan Yong Xue (陈勇学): Anders - a 2-syllable unisex name of Greek/Germanic origin, means: Manly; strong.
For Anders, when i was about 6 weeks expecting him, my gynae told me that i may had a miscarriage. I was totally devasted. I went for a 2nd opinion and thankfully, we saw his heartbeat. From then onward, everything went on smoothly.
When we saw the meaning of Anders, we knew it was meant for him because Adrian said he was a warrior and fight to survive.
As for both their chinese names are given by a Feng Shui master according to their 生辰八字 .
As parents, we want them to have a good name that can bring out their character and of course, a good life ahead.
Confusion says: "if names be not correct, language accords not with truth."
For the fun of it, I’m going to tag Louis & Eve, Eileen,Nellie , Joyce & PM.
