Baby Names - Is it too Early?
Well both the wife and I were talking about Baby names – boy that is going to get messy. Do we go with an English name like the mother – or have a Bhutanese/Chinese name like the Daddy? But before we go over to that subject we should probably decide on the surname. Should we stick with Chhimi (Yes, Chhimi is indeed my last name) or go with my family name which is MA(Chinese). Most likely we are going to confuse the heck out of this kid – daddy is Jigme Chhimi and sometimes goes by the name Ma Kuo Feng – and by some he is just Pumpkin head – (I should just call baby – mini pumpkin) and mom is Tabitha Wong.
I think I would like my child to have my family last name Ma (Chinese Family Name) – we used Chhimi because of schooling purpose and official documentation while living in Bhutan – then as we grew up it just stuck with us. What makes matters worse is that my dad and his siblings – Mom included have English name. (Long story – some Christian Brother from the boarding schools tried to convert them – and gave them their names – Tom (Dad), Bobby, John, Mickey, Mary, Sally and Ellie and Mom is Katy) so you see this could be a hair raising discussion between me and the Wife.
So many decisions… or maybe I should just call my kid Google. I could call the baby FIREFOX!! Sounds really cool though.
