[ Hi.. My Name is... Anntonii ]

I guess its a little strange writing a blog regarding the origins of my name. If you ask me, I would have forgotten the whole story, only knowing back in 1994 where I worked as a Sales Promoter in Metro Marina... People ask me what's my chirstian name? Oh well.. it was "Anthony" then.

I always thought "Anthony" looks girly, or maybe should I put it that its one of the overly used names which people comes up when they look at a newborn.

There were many versions of my name.. which began as "Antoni". This is simply an italian spelling which sometimes spelled as "Antonie" Now Now.. doesn't it look girly to you?

then I tried with Antonii, then Anntoni, then finally Anntonii.

[Anntonii] looks just nice with the letters nicely seperated among the Ns & Is. So if you asked me, I would to believe its a Italian Hybrid name.

People just can't get my name spelled correctly.. its a shame sometimes my own boss gets it wrong too. I'm very particular with names, as it associates with WHO you are, so I always tried not to get people's name spelled wrongly.

There will always be a small group of nolifers who always think they can crack a joke on prounoncing my name.

Some called me "Annt-Ton-Nii"

Some called me "Annt-Ton-Nine"

Others simply give up and call me "Annt"

I would be happier enough that you don't try so hard..

If there's one thing I tell people about my name.. is that they may know hundreds of Anthony in their lifes.. but there shall be only one "Anntonii", unless somewhere in this world there's another majestic talented young chap living in the southen suburbs of Italy.

I've got this name in my namecard.., my student ID.. my Empolyment pass.. all except my ID.. which I also forgotten how much it cost to insert another name.

Guess I no need to go into that extend.. for now..

Cheerz,

Anntonii also means Antoni N Irene but it was really meant to be forgotten..
