Multiple
Names
I have many different names, but my real
name is Pei Pei. My parents chose this name for me, and they say my name means
I am the favorite child. Actually, I do not really like this name because it
sounds like a woman’s name. Chinese families who live in Indonesia do not have
middle names. We only have last names that usually come from our family. My
last name is Au Jong, which comes from my father’s family. Since I am Catholic,
I also have my baptismal name Paulus that I got it when I was a baby. A priest
chose it for me. The name was taken from one of the apostles. Another name that
I have is for business. I have my own business that sells electronics,
especially satellite antennas. My business partners and my customers call me
Andi. It is an Indonesian native name, and it is the name of a nobleman in
Sulawesi. I chose this name myself. I like this name because it sounds like a
powerful person. In my opinion, using the right name in the right place can have
a good impact.
It's nice to know more about you. As your saying, using the right name in the right place can have a good impact.I have some names as well, like my Chinese name and two English name. I use different names in different fields. It all lead me on a easy way.
ReplyDeleteI really agree with what you said "using the right name in the right place can have a good impact." After I use my English name instead my origin name at work, it helps me avoid to be called nickname and people can be more easily remember me. Therefore, my work is smoother and easier.
