I Gave Her A Name

As some of you might be aware, i've been promoted to be a big brother. Mummy is expecting a girl and is 25 weeks plus into her pregnancy. Mummy didn't want to announce the news until her detailed scan on 03/03/11 when she was 20 weeks pregger.

Mummy was having a conversation with 奶奶 a day after her detailed scan while walking me to the bus stop after school. They mentioned 妹妹(referring to my cousin mei mei Renise) and i asked which 妹妹 were they referring to because there's so many 妹妹. Then 奶奶 casually asked me to give my very own 妹妹 a name for easy differentiation. Mummy thought it's weird to ask me since she herself has been having problem short listing a suitable name for 妹妹. But to their surprise, i told them 妹妹's name should start with letter "E" just like me, mummy and daddy. I also told them that there should be a "v" in her name. Before mummy could ask why the need for a "v", i came out with a name - Eavia (pronounced as A-Via). Eagan (pronounced as A-Gan) and Eavia. Not bad, i thought and 奶奶 thought the name is easy to pronouce too, even for old folks. Mummy asked how i came out with that name and if i've any friend by the name of Eavia? I told her no and cheekily told her Eavia is my 妹妹 lor. Before boarding the bus, instead of saying bye bye to mummy, i waved goodbye at mummy's tummy and say "Bye bye Eavia".

Mummy was so excited and called daddy to tell him about the name and he too agreed that it's an unique and easy name to pronouce. I am so proud that i'm the one who gave 妹妹 a name. Since then, we've been to referring to my 妹妹 as Eavia which is so much easier:-)
