Choosing name for baby

Dearest Cepheus,

Some point in your life, you will probably wonder why on earth we gave you this name. I have already explained here why your name appear the way it is on your birth certificate. I have always wanted to give you a unique English name. The moment I knew that you are a boy, I search through tons of baby names websites like www.babynames.com, www.babyhold.com and www.thinkbabynames.com plus flipping through many babynames books to find ideas for your name. Names that your mummy and I have considered includes Xerxes, Cornelius, Schyler and Zacchaeus. In the end, I have decided that I want to give my kid(s) Greek mythology names that starts with the alphabet "C" and hence, Cepheus became your name. Cepheus is the name of two Greek mythology kings and also the name of a Constellation. We, as your parents hope that you can be as bright as the stars.

As for your chinese name 宇恒,it was given on the advise of a fortune teller based on some calculation of the date and time of your birth plus the five element. Your mummy likes this name alot. I like it too as there is reference to the Universe and Cepheus is a Constellation as well. I think both names are nicely matched. That's how you get your name my dear son.


Love always,
daddy
