I KNOW I KNOW I promised I was going to post up photos of VD, but being the irresponsible curator that I am, I really cbf at the moment so that'll have to wait. But pinky-promise all of you internet gurus that are soaking up the virtual party life that I WILL get around to it.. someday. >_>
Now I've been thinking. And not JUST thinking, not just another one of those lame philosophical musings I have, but one of those intense moments of deep mind-indulgence where I completely bury myself in my thoughts.
So what were you contemplating about? As you may ask.
Well, as news may have travelled, the name "Katya" ( pronouced KAR CHAR) is so 2008 and "Jennifer" is SO 2000-and-late, and Jennifer is Jennifer no more.
Now this prompted me to think.. what's in a name? Of course, it's a form of identity, a representation of yourself, and it defines who you are in a certain sense, whether you love or loath it. Performers often like to take on a performance name to further connect with their character as it allows them to take on another persona, an alter-ego perhaps.
In this case, if I changed my name, would my personality change along with my name? Would I adapt to my name like how animals adapt to their environment? We often associate people based on their names too. For example, if I say "May" your mind will automatically picture a funny asian girl with pigtails and pink glasses. So then, will people treat me differently as a result of my name change?
I feel sorry for people being stuck with ridiculous names, especially the children of those "celebrities" - eh yeah Apple is really a great name for your kid. By enforcing such a farcical name on them, you're potentially destroying your kids social life and their ability to ever get laid. How cruel is that ! Even the stepmother of Cinderella didn't go to such extremes to sabotage her child's life.
So then I came up with .. the top 10 worst names I can think of. 10 to 1 time !! =D Feel free to add to the list.
.. .
Okay after much thinking, I can only come up with 7 so this countdown is abit short. Sue my brain and its lack of ability to come up with disgusting names.
7. Franklin / Frank. HAHA I'm seconded by Murali.
6. Gregory.
5. Alfred.
4. Reynold.
3. Margaret.
2. Janice.
1. HORACE.
EURGH imagine having a name like "Horace" being thrusted upon you. It's like dooming you for the rest of eternity. Even when you die, you'll fail judgement day cos you're name is so sad.
Hm remember Kerrington from last year's So You Think You Can Dance? I quite like her name for some reason. Okay nvm I'm yingjing for life.
