Ethan Ryence Liow Zu An

We've finally found a name for our boy. It's been many weeks of shortlisting names that sound nice, means something, and 'matches' AN's name to a certain extent. As much as we do not want to be calling him something that we know another friend's son is already called (so that we do not have both kids wondering who we are calling out to during gatherings), we ended up with one. Good thing is, he's going to have 2 names to go by, like his sister. So, he's going to know when we're calling him, one way or another.

It's a coincidence that AN and ER (initials of Ethan Ryence)'s initials are in each other's Chinese name (AN Liow Zu Er and ER Liow Zu An) but we thought it would be nice if this pair of siblings are as closely knitted as their names are.

We told AN her brother will be called Ethan Ryence from now on but being the 3 yr old with lots of reasons, she prefers to call him Adrielle, too. She says that because she is our baby and her name is Adrielle, he should be also called Adrielle coz he is her baby brother. She thinks that neither Ethan nor Ryence sound nice but giggles when I said he's going to become a girl if we call him Adrielle. My silly baby...

So, my boy, you now have a name! You will be our Ethan Ryence Liow Zu An. May the Lord bring peace through you.
