for those who didnt know, my family follows the 家谱, meaning that the sons of a generation has the same first character. my male cousins all start with 渊. my dad and his brothers and his cousins all start with 泽. my ah gong's generation all start with 树. and so for my ah gong's generation, you get all the funny names like 陈树叶，陈树木。my ah gong is 陈树根.
so for the next younger generation, the first character is 思.
i thought of calling him Tan Si Jin. in dedication to yoo si jin from DOTS. hahahahaha.
jokes aside, these are a few names that my dad came up with:
极 - 顶尖；登峰造极
赜 - 精微；深奥
豫 - 欢喜；快乐
济 - 人才济济
we actually liked 思极 and 思赜.
but... being a teacher, i start to imagine what will happen if his school mates play the name calling game on him.
思极 will become 死鸡 (dead chicken).
as for 思赜, his hanyu pinyin name will be Si Ze. if you put Si and Ze together will become... SIZE. M size. L size. XL size. hahahaha i was laughing to myself when i thought of all these.
(i got the feeling that merllie from nuscd is going to PM me soon.)
