How I got the name Clarissa

Tuesday, August 19, 2008


Before we got to know the gender of the baby when I was pregnant, we have already decided that if it was to be a girl, I will chose the name and Hubby will do it if it was a boy. For some reason, a lot of people tends to think that I was going to have a boy (although I was secretly hoping that it will be the other way round). 

So, my hubby got ready some names for us to chose. It is our family tradition to have the children's name starts with "C" because the whole family has names starts with it - Christie (my father in law), Christine, Christopher, Cynthia, Carrie and Caryn. Hubby came out with the suggestion Christian, Cornelius and Calvin. I thought Christian was ok, but he was very keen in Cornelius instead. All of us were horrified that the baby will be named after that :) It reminded us so much of the name "Cornelius Fudge", from the Harry Potter book (it was the hit then). And I certainly did not want to name my son Calvin because I didn't want him to be Calvin & Hobbes (Daddy was a little devil when he was young, he was named "The Rascal"). So, I was praying very very hard that it will not be a boy. Hubby was adamant to use that name, no matter how all of us were totally against it (come'on, can you imagine having your son being called "Corn Corn"!)

On the other hand, I prepared some names for a girl. I was trying to decide between Charmaine, Charlotte and Clarissa. Initially, I thought I would go for Charlotte but was concern that some people may not be able to pronounce it properly and she would ended up being laughed at all the time. As I was googling for the meaning of the name, I came across "Clarissa" again and it means "brilliant" in Greek. I thought to myself, I wouldn't mind having a brilliant child, so we decided that if it was a girl, we will call her that. Moreover, I thought it would be nice for her to be called "Sa Sa" in chinese (for my grandparents especially, as they don't speak English). 

I was totally relieved after my 5 months scan, when the doctor confirmed that it was going to be a girl, for I knew for sure, my child wouldn't be called "Corn Corn" or worst still, "Corny" :D Until now, I am still trying to convince Hubby that we will not name our 2nd child Cornelius if it is going to be a son......
