Name woes

As you can see inertia got the better of me. but anyway, whilst my Egypt photos are being processed, I shall post some other nonsense.

today the evening news reported that in malaysia a ban was imposed (or was it a recommendation list?) on certain baby names. in my mind I was thinking what kind of names deserve to be banned, not like pple are so stupid to name their kids vulgar names. Like Leong Ah Tu?

Anyway for Malays, names like Zoini - Male adulterer and Wonti - Female seductress are nonos. (anyway think I got them wrong don't quote me ok). and for chinese Ah Kow and Sam Seng. hahahaha! I've heard of Ah Kow and they are 60+ now but Sam Seng? and no babies to be named after fruits (Apple?), colours, veges. heehee. I didn't know unsuitable names are so prevalent in Malaysia.

Serious lee??? they're imposing a ban? ok even if its not in your birth cert, you can still call yourself apple when you're older right? what happens then? so funny...

remember my friend marie mo mi mi? maybe they should ban names starting with the same alphabets too. like lily lee li li?
