Of Names & Games

I hardly know how to pronounce English names in this era. These days, you would probably come across names with an “affix” of “Z” or “N” to the names, as seen in the case of “Jazmyn” (instead of Jasmine).

The Chinese often believe that if a baby lack certain natural elements at the time of birth, hence, the additional Chinese strokes (造字) to the name. On that note, how did English names of this era come about?

Some names are no doubt, interesting. Yours truly, is named after a magazine afterall, hee.

Some names are related to the months of the years, or well known English Literature characters. Others, simply remind you of food. Celebrities, too, are famous for naming their offsprings unique names.

Pehaps, this controversial naming exercise could be related to how the planets are named. We humans have been living well with the names of “your anus”, I beg your pardon, “Uranus”, so what’s the big deal with bizzare English names in this modern era? Hahaha.

However, there is one particular name which I cannot comprehend. That would be:

Rob.
I mean, Rob who?
Rob Thomas
