Many friends and relatives asked..
How ever did we come up with such a name..

N e v e  S u n d u v a a n.



Just a normal process of looking looking for what suits both our hearts and the little babe..actually.

Neve (neev)..but we prefer to pronounce it as Nee Vee :) lagi kiut..was actually after the teen star below.
Recognize her?
hehe..i'm sure a lot don't.



This is Neve Campbell.
An actress famous for her potrayal as Julia Salinger in the hit series Party of Five.
A story about five siblings living together on their own.
It was one of my favourite tv shows..time muda2 dlu..hehe..
The cast of Part of Five.
Then Neve Campbell went on to more movies like Scream, Wild Things..and a lot more.
But this is the one drama series that made her my all time favourite.

huhu..ngam2 lagi 'N'  initial nama dia kn..so..why not. hehehe..
and..another great thing about the name is the meaning.
I bumped into 'Neve' in one of the baby names book..and saw the meaning as a promising princess.
In Irish.
Heheh..apa2 ja la..Irish ka..english ka.. yg penting sa suka tu nama.
Promising princess.
Jan saja jadi demanding princess la len kali a.. (^_^)

On Sunduvaan.
It's a word in Kadazan which means 'spirit'.
Why Kadazan?
Why not.
Lagi pun sebenar nya smua anak buah yg lain ada nama Kadazan ni..so..wajib.
And so..I've been looking for the right kadazan word since i knew i was pregnant  and heard the particular word during a kadazan church sermon in our kampung.
:) so..that's it.

Yep. 
That is it.

How do you name a child?
Share share dlu ba..
