My name

Went to fetch my dad and was the journey home, was just asing about my cousin's chinese name cos' not too sure if everyone knows but the guys in my generation have a particular middle character - 发.

so some of the names in the family -
发祥
发强
发玲
发平⋯⋯

and then he told me that some guy in China who did a read of the Family Ancestral book unravelled a list of middle names for the various generations. And that of my dad is 代 meaning his name would have been 余代和. but my grandpa that era uses dialect so it became 余大和。and my grandpa (whom i have never met before)'s name should have 赤 as the middle character.

And my generation, by right, shouldn't be 发but instead, according to the book, it should be 振.

KAO..

I think the word 振 is way cooler than 发. imagine my name is 振升.

余振升⋯⋯ worlds apart.
