Choice of Chinese Name
After much help from my father in law and my dear friend - xiuzhen (thanks to you) which is quite good in chinese, Vernon's chinese name has been zoomed down into 1 name but various combination for us to decide:
1) Chen Yu Jie - 陈宇捷
2) Chen Yu Jie - 陈宇杰
3) Chen Jie Yu - 陈捷宇
4) Chen Jie Yu - 陈杰宇
the meaning of the characters are:
捷- victorious, agile, quick-minded
杰- Outstanding
宇- Universe:meaning very big.... (cos he is the eldest child of the generation, which is the same for his dad and grandad... so very big).. hahah
Both my father and mother in law like Jie Yu as they find it sounds better and my father in law thinks that this 捷 is better than this 杰. So the choice for the grandparents is No. 3
whereas andy and I like No. 2 as we find that Yu Jie is better to pronounce and 捷 may have some negative connoation - as taking shortcut... So the choice for the parents is No. 2
so quite undivided now. so any wise opinion from anyone?
