Jamstart 1st Gear July 22, 2010 Share July 22, 2010 Just wonder how many still stick with the format of using dialect name for your kids whom your parents gave you when you were young like Tan Lee Hoon, Yeo Kok Choon etc. I know some of my friend still use like Tan Guoping, Yeo Huimin etc. Or... you totally change your Tan to Chen or Lim to Lin for your kid? For me, I am still using the dialect format. Reason is I wanna people to differentiate my kids from the FT or PR. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamstart 1st Gear July 22, 2010 Author Share July 22, 2010 That is very true. At least I have my kids all using dialect names. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcyFire Neutral Newbie July 22, 2010 Share July 22, 2010 If you do not follow the dialect surname, down the road will your children be identifiable as yours? Teacher: Huang Mingming, is this your father? Mingming: Yes teacher... Teacher: Thank you for coming Mr Huang... Father: I am Mr Ng... Teacher: Sorry... Mr Ng. (thinking: Mingming's mother remarried?) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darryn Turbocharged July 22, 2010 Share July 22, 2010 ahem...tink lidat u may run out of boxes to write name liao. then MOE kena blame again. number two format is like this... Given name / second *(or middle) name / surname / hanyu pinyin... which is 9 letters / 8 letters / 8 letters / 6 letters... One of the names we are considering has about 13 strokes, first daughter is better though...only 11 strokes... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
