Look what an awsome name i have!!!!!!

my name... Nguyễn Quang Trung lập.... what could it mean?

To start with finding out about my name, firstly it is a combination of my two older brothers names.
Nguyễn- my sir name
Quang- my second oldest brother name and means king
Trung- my oldest brother name and is a really common name for vietnamese people
Lập- my name (yeah) means independent when it goes with the word "độc" (độc lập), eccentric, peculiar and wacky when it goes with the word "dị" (lập dị) and lập itself means to form, to establish, to set up. example-to set up a company, to form a relief committee.

also, i was name after the place i was born in, Trung Lập Thượng. it is a small town in Củ Chi.
When the war was still on, this place is use to be call Trung Lập only. But when we got invaded by france for a couple of hundreds years. they separate this town into Trung Lập Thượng and Trung Lập Hạ. so now there is two part of the town. when we won France and kicked them out of the country, we still then haven't put the town back together. so we now still have a separated town. i was born in Trung Lập Thượng.

That is the vietnamese meanings. but when it came to the English meanings..... the name Lập beacame really wierd.

Since in English, there is no  Á À Ả à Ạ and stuff, my name is only lap. lap also have many meanings in English as lap dance, 1 lap and lap itself. many people find it funny then start teasing me about it.

like when someone ask what my name then i say "lap". in reply they then ask" then is your sir name dance?" that is the akward moment and i just have to be silent and walk away.

also when someone came up to me and say "hey lap, now run one lap." the guy then just laugh crazily about the joke and i just finds it stupid.

in conclusion, my name have a good side and a bad side. not much people make fun of it now cause i think they never notice or it is because they don't bother to. except a man called Mr. Pollicut, my english teacher. he said "lap, when i became a famous author, i will write a book about a boy who go to school normaly in the day, but at night he goes to the bar then start lap dancing." he also said lap dancing was my career and i just find that lame cause i haven't seen anyone doing a lap dancing yet, or ever will.

now you know what my name is, tell me about yours by blogging on this website. so then i could make fun of you when we came to school. hahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!!!
