MY has been trying to get an english name for her work for some time now.
At our JC outing yest, she urged us to all start thinking of one before we start work lest our ang moh boss murders our impossibly chinese names.
All 5 of us there didn't have any english names (is an indo name counted as english?) and 2 decided there wasn't a need to get one.
I've always wondered about having an english name. Would have saved me previous seconds trying to repeat my name to every new person I meet.
I used to like the name Jessica. But it just seems kinda dated and lame now.
Jessie is an interesting twist but it kinda sounds like a dog's name =X
Having lived without an english name for 22 years of my life, I have difficulty finding something which I can identify with. I mean, if I get this new name, I have to respond to it for the rest of my life. I have to get a name which describes who I am and how I feel about myself when I am not exactly sure of who exactly I am and how I feel about myself changes day to day (maybe even minute to minute).
All I know is, I want a one syllabus name (as of now that is). And while in the shower, I thought of Kate.
Why Kate?
Kate is pretty uncommon in Singapore.
Kate is not overly fancy nor boring (Katie is overly cute-ish).
I don't know any Kates so it won't be weird.
It starts with K!
Kate Moss used to date Johnny Depp (teeheehee)
HAHA. Am I a Kate??
