The Name Game

I am Kenji...

I was born as <姚江龙> then as time goes by, I adapted <けんじ> when I was studying Japanese language during my Nanyang Polytechnic days. I kind of like that name alot. Haven't hear people calling me that name for quite sometime already. Only until recently when I was back in Singapore then I hear it again...

Just before I went to the States in 2006, I revamped my name to <姚宗泽, Kent> due to some Fengshui stuffs from my mum... Made me get a lawyer to draft a deed poll for my name change and to go through all the trouble of re-doing my Identity Card, Passport and amending all relevant documents that are under my name. I don't know if it is for the good or the bad, but my life still goes on. I am still as optimistic...

Friends or people that I come across of now will know me as Kent, whereas out on the streets, I will still hear 江龙 or けんじ being called by friends of mine since the good old days...

Talking about names, I read an article that parents nowadays give the stupidest name to their children. I wonder what was on their mind when the name of their child was to be registered at the point of time...
