Our Daughter's Name Part II

Well, I did not finish with talking about our daughter's name the other time. Based on my dialect group (Hokkien), Grace dialect name should be - Lee Tok Eng. However, as the sound of "Tok" doesn't sounds too nice in Hokkien (it sounds like chopping), we have decided to use "Chok" instead. So when some people ask on her name...we will say "Oh..you know Goh Chok Tong? The same Chok lor." Well, it is good to associate your name with something good.

Lastly, Grace..do you know why your name "Grace" is not after your dialect name like "Lee Chok Eng, Grace"? It's because we wonder if the comma is part of your name. Anyway, it looks a bit weird with the comma right?
