WHAT IS A NAME???



Since history began, the Chinese always believed in
the significance of one's name. They have developed a
very comprehensive system of naming one's children as
it is believed that the name of a person strongly
influences one's destiny and fate.

Astrologers, fortune tellers, academics and monks are
consulted when choosing a name for the new born. The
other cultures, however do not really believe in it
and tend to brush it off as superstition. Whether you
believe it or not, however,the other cultures are not
spared of this correlation.

For example, the Chinese surname LEE (Li) is
associated with power and success such as Lee Kuan
Yew, Lee Teng Hui (Taiwanese president), Li Peng
(China's ex PM), Li Ka Shing (HK tycoon) and LEE
Iacocca - once Chrysler's chief. Lee Van Cliff, the actor.

One very good example is Lee Iacocca,
whose first name IACOCCA stands for I Am Chairman Of Chrysler Corporation America - coincident?

Look at the following familiar examples.

Mahathir (Malaysia's PM): My Assets Halve After The Hit In Ringgit !
Suharto (Ex president of Indonesia): Should U Have Additional Rupiahs, Throw Out!
Bush (ex American President): Beat Up Saddam Hussein!

However, no one can beat this latest casualty in bad naming
Clinton: Call Lewinsky, I Need The Oral Now !
Osama: Oh Shit, American's Missile Again!
