How Baby's Name Came About...

Mummy says:

After the ultrasound scan at Dr Lee's clinic on 21 Jul 2010 and Dr Lee said that it is most likely a boy, we decided to give bean bean a name soon cos we can't keep calling him bean bean.  Our method of choosing was really funny.  Daddy suggested writing all the alaphabets on different pieces of paper, folding them and each one of us pick a paper to see the letter.  I picked "Q" and Daddy picked "A".  As I gotten a "Name Your Baby" book, we flipped to the section with all the boys' names beginning with "Q" and it was a very easy task cos not much names start with "Q".  We fell in love with the name "Quain"-a french name meaning "clever".  Very apt as bean bean was in my womb when we went over to France for our sugarmoon holiday in April this year.  We also hope that bean bean will be a clever little boy but Quain sounds better for a middle name and since Daddy picked "A", we proceeded to flip to the boys' names starting with "A".  Some of the names shortlisted are "Alastair", "Alonzo" and "Ansel".  The rest seemed too common already.  Of these 3, I like 'Alastair" the best.  However, it is 3 syllabus and people will find it difficult or don't even know how to pronounce. 

We left our options open until the 5th month scan when the radiologist confirmed 100% that bean bean is a boy boy. 

I practically flipped through every page of the book to look at all the boys' names to shortlist a few that are unique and not so common.  Some of the names include:-

Edan
Eden
Kaden
Kaiser
Renzo

I asked for Daddy's opinion and we shortlisted further to 2 names: Kaiser and Renzo.

Kaiser is a German name meaning "Emperor" or "Leader"-great cos Daddy wants bean bean to be a great man next time...hahaha!
Renzo is a Latin name meaning "Man from Lorenzo"- doesn't hv much meaning for us. However, it sounds pretty similar to my darling dog's name 'Enzo', so it will be great cos they are siblings mah...hahaha!

Ultimately, we decided on Kaiser cos Daddy said that some people may have difficult pronouncing the name "Renzo" cos it starts with the "R" and some people are too lazy to pronounce that.

Hence bean bean's name has been set:

KAISER QUAIN LIM
 P/S: all MTBs, pls do not copy this name cos I want bean bean's name to be unique, okie? :)
