Baby's name

I got a few names for our baby while on HL staying at home. Actually we already got a few names much earlier when we conceived Trenyce. But hubby decided not to use the 2 names we shortlisted then (Keith and Keane).

Here are the names I shortliseted:

1. Kesler
The meaning of the name is Independent And Energetic
The origin of the name Kesler is American

2. Keith
The meaning of the name is Warrior Descending
The origin of the name Keith is Celtic/Gaelic
Baby names that sound like Keith are Kit, Kitt and Ketti. Other similar baby names are Leith, Heath, Jeth, Keh, Keiji, Keir, Kennith and Seth.

3. Kegan
The meaning of the name is Bright Shining Flame
The origin of the name Kegan is Celtic/Gaelic

4. Kingston
The meaning of the name is From The King's Town
The origin of the name Kingston is English

5. Kiran
The meaning of the name is Ray Of Light
The origin of the name Kiran is Sanskrit (India)

6. Keon
The meaning of the name is God Is Gracious
The origin of the name Keon is Hawaiian

7. Keagan
The meaning of the name is Son Of Eagan, Fiery
The origin of the name Keagan is Celtic/Gaelic

8. Kristofer
The meaning of the name is Bearer Of Christ
The origin of the name Kristofer is Greek
(same as kristopher, kristoffer)

9. Kris
The meaning of the name is Follower of Christ
The origin of the name Kris is English

10. Keane
The meaning of is "fighter; sharp, keen wit or eye".
It is of Irish, Gaelic and Old English origin.
Keane has 4 variant forms: Kean, Keen, Keene and Keyne.

All the names started with "K" as we have mutaully agreed that all boys will follow "K" whereas girls will follow "T".

However, hubby doesnt like those names. He selected another name for our baby. In the end, we decided to call him KAYDEN. Kayden meaning "fighter". We want him to be a brave boy who will march out with all his might to achieve what he wants to obtain for himself in life.

Then one day, SIL called. She and BIL googled from wikipedia and found out that some porn actress is also using the name and informed us. After some search on the www, we decided to keep the name as we are quite used to calling the little one with this name but with some slight changes. Instead of KAYDEN, we are using KADEN. We went in to wikipedia and double confirm that no funny people are using this name before we retain the name. Thank goodness there isnt any! Except for the missing 'Y', the meaning and pronounication of the name remain unchanged.

Anyway, thanks Maykim and Michael for informing us! Cheers!

Meaning of your kid’s name? (Tagged)

Sorry Angeleyes, I know I am a little slow in responding...just came back from short holiday. I am hardly tagged by anyone, so thanks for engaging this slow tortise in the fun! ;p

So, whats the meaning of my girl's name?

****************

Little girl's name: TRENYCE WONG JIA YEE

Hubby and I have long decided that our children will take the first 2 initials of our english name, so if the child is a boy, he will take after "KE" and gal will be "TR". In fact, we had come up with 4 names as we would very much like to have 4 kids if we can afford to. Getting a boy's name is much easier than the girl's name as there isnt many "TR"s around.......

I know this sounds a little funny. I chanced upon Trenyce's name while watching American Idol:p Saw this black gal by the name Trenyce who can sing really well. Cant remember exactly whether its the 1st or 2nd season. All I can remember was that I was about 3 mths+ preggy then and we were still busy searching for names for our BB. So when I saw her name with "TR" which fitted our bill, I quickly jotted it down and did a google the very next day for the meaning of the name. It was not easy as google was not very helpful...in the end, I had to pop into the bookstores and dig those baby naming 'dictionaries' for the meaning. Thank goodness I found it eventually and I was very pleased to find out that "Trenyce" means "Smiling". I thought to myself "hey, wouldnt it nice to have a happy girl?" Afterall, we parents all want our children to be happy and cheerful isnt it? And that's how we decided to use Trenyce for my smiley Trenyce :) Indeed, she loves to smile and laugh....she's really our happy girl!

Trenyce's chinese name was given by her paternal grandfather. We got FIL to give the name as he is the only one, besides myself, who knows the chinese characters and most importantly, Trenyce is the first grandchild of the WONG famiy. It is Trenyce's privilege to have the grandfather to give her her name.

Surname: WONG
The chinese character is same meaning as the colour - yellow.
[PS:I am sorry I dont have chinese wordstar so there's no way I can type out the chinese name :'( ]

Middle name: JIAFIL chose the word "Jia" which means "good" but the reason FIL chose this word is because the sound is close to the chinese character "house", meaning he wanted her to be close to her family, always think of the family wherever she is and whatever she is doing.

Last name: YEEThe final word "Yee" came from the newspaper. FIL came up with a few names but we dont really like it (actually its me cos hubby doesnt know chinese as his 2nd language is Bahasa Melayu), so he resorted to using the chinese newspapers for ideas. Coincidently, there was a big writeup on this china woman (quite a big shot in China political world) with the name "Yee". The word "Yee" in chinese refers to proper etiquette. To FIL, this symbolises a successful and proper woman and he wanted Trenyce to be like this woman so he gave the word "Yee".
