Tagged: Meaning of Jared's Name

I've been tagged!! Tagged by Tricia's mummy for the meaning for Jared's name.

This is the story..

After 12wk scan, Dr. Ang(my gynae) says probaly we'll have a boy....I went thru all kind of baby naming website to study the names..Short listed a few..but can't remember most of them now. Deepest impression should be Ezekiel..But daddy didn't like it as it sound so much like EZlink our daily bus card. hehe.

One night while we were watching tv together, one of the participant's name caught daddy's attention. Jialat forgot the show name..Confirmed with daddy it was his favourite tv program, American Idol...No, that Jared didn't win the contest....He loved the name as it's not common in Sg, also look and sound nice...

But still I couldn't agree with daddy..hoping 1 day I could change his mind..to the EZ name hehe.

So we were addressing the little baby as ah b all the way till he's borned. When Baby was borned...We have no chance and time to do the re-thinking as we were too busy coping with the newborn. After 1 week (time to submit name for birth cert), we just name him...Jared hehe.

A search on the webbies, showed that the name Jared originated from Hebrew and it means "One who rules"

We've feedback that Jared looks / sounds like:

• Past tense of Jar
• Jia Lat (Occasionally, we will call him this when he make us angry)
  

Chinese Name: 祥毅

Jared's chinese name need to be named after 祥 due to 家镨. My MIL came out with so many name, 祥锐, 祥亨...and finally both me and Kee Ping quickly make up our mind to decide that he should be name 毅 before more o-biang names come into their mind. It means determination(毅力)... Judging from the condition he was in, having a space tank on his head, and leg and fingers kena poke till blue black, we need him to have the determination to over come all the pains.

Similarly, we want him to grow up have determination to goes through all kind of challenge in life.

English name: Siong Yee

English name translated to Siong Yee for Fuzhou/Hokkien Dialect. Kee Ping wanted Yi at first, but I preferred 3 character, so chose Yee instead.
