Vogue-U Potion - What is in a Name

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.....

Have u come across a person’s name which will make u giggled, pondered or puzzled? Well I’ve seen some who even made fun of a person’s name which I considered it as a rude gesture!

No doubt sometimes we have parents who are illiterate and registered their children’s name verbally without having the idea how it would sound when it is written. It doesn’t matter whether a Malay, Chinese or Indian. I’ve came across real live names like “Sampah”, “Tan Pui Kee” and “Maniaye” (pronounced as Mani Air in Malay) and even “Batman Bin Suparman” (refer copy of NRIC sent by my friend via email - and I am not sure whether this is true, but let us not be judgemental).

It really sounds comical pronouncing them but just put yourself in their shoes. Probably some may not show their grievances, but I’ve came across those who cried each time people made fun of their names. I think this is something we have to ponder. It really saddened us but the scenario is norm. Even for myself, when hearing the names for the first time made me giggled but obviously we need to be discreet and not hurt the other party’s feelings by joking about it and making a big “huhaa” to their names.

Nevertheless, the message I wish to point out here, as a human being, respect is the key word. As the saying goes, life is a cycle, what goes around, comes around. What you do on to others will eventually befalls back if not to you, it could be your loved ones.

And speaking on name calling, I’ll share with you some jokes about names, not those of the making fun types k, but something that is like an eye-opener and mind boggling matter. Haha till the next entry later at 2.00pm this afternoon…. keep it suspense first… huhu

Stay Vogue and luv yourself always......
