My sis gave birth to her first born, a baby girl last thurs.
she was initially named Mishel Myra, meaning moonlight. but then, my family decided to change her name to Faith Fathihah, since my family feel that the name Mishel Myra was not suitable for her. she was always crying and was not in a very good health condition, thus the name change, hoping that she'll get better. Btw, Faith Fathihah means faith in a new beginning.
BUT, now there's another problem. My eldest sis-in-law is not satisfied since she said she's been keeping the name Faith for her own child for 8 years. my sis said she cried, and now she feels guilty. but she wasnt the one who chose the name. it was suggested by my 2nd brother. he said if he were to have another daughter, that's what he's gonna name her. so, it means that even if my sis' not gonna use it, someone else is gonna use the name Faith, so...tough luck.she cant just reserve the name forever, since she and my eldest bro are not ready yet to have kids...
i pity my sis, torn between our eldest bro and his wife, and the rest of the family who thinks that she should just use the name Faith Fathihah. she's willing to use Fair fathihah instead, but she's pretty sure her husband's not gonna agree.i suggested Hope Fathihah, meaning hope in a new beginning, but she said my eldest bro and his wife wants that name as well. i dunno...i feel that my eldest bro and his wife are one selfish couple. come on! you dont even have a child! i understand that you want that name, but both names? and tough luck that someone else took the name you wanted. i, for instance, wanted the name Mishel for my child, when i do get them, and was sooo disappointed when my sis said she's using it. but still, i didnt stop her for using it...
*sigh* Dear Mishel Myra, or Faith Fathihah, or Fair Fathihah, or whatever your name's gonna be,
you're only about a week old, and there's already a lot of dispute going on that revolves around you. somehow, i knew you were gonna be a spoilt baby, but...since you come from the sis i love the most, better make sure you dont annoy me( i tell this to all my nephews and nieces when they were born). i have a feeling i'm gonna love you the most out of all my nephews and nieces, so please be a good girl, dont follow your elder cousins' footsteps. they annoy me.
love,
Auntie LA.
