Do you like Nicole Kidman?
I don’t… have any particular opinions about Nicole Kidman… like, not good or bad opinions about her…
I thought you were named after Nicole Kidman?!
(LOL)… No?
(Puzzled) Then why is your English name Nicole?!
(Chuckles) — The whole time?! From 2007 until now, you thought I was named after NICOLE KIDMAN?!?!?!
(Shaking his head in disbelief) If you’re not named after Nicole Kidman, then WHY is your ENGLISH name… NICOLE?!?!?!?!!?
(Laughing)…
Please answer my question?!?!?!
(Laughing more)…
(Deep breaths, composing herself from laughter)
My English name was given to me by a friend of my parents.
Who?
I don’t know. He was an Italian man, I think? Isn’t Nicole an Italian name?
Umm… according to Google it’s not…
Oh? Well — I don’t know. But the friend was Italian. I think my parents thought Nicole was an Italian name?!
(Laughing) — NOBODY THINKS NICOLE IS AN ITALIAN NAME!!!
(LOLOLOLOLOLOL) — Well my parents are TAIWANESE! How would they have known the DIFFERENCE if the “Italian” friend simply told them, “NAME YOUR DAUGHTER NICOLE! IT’S AN ITALIAN NAME!!!”
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA — DID THAT REALLY HAPPEN?!?!?!?!?!?!!
I don’t know… maybe we can ask them for sure, one day…
But you’re not named after Nicole Kidman?
NO — I highly doubt it…
Oh… (LOL) (Chuckles)
What?!?!?!
Nothing — I thought you really liked her movies or something, wasn’t sure if I should like, go watch some of them for conversation…
(Chuckles) — I mean, I don’t MIND her movies?!!?! I can’t think of any particular movies she’s been in that’s particularly “BAD” — ?!?!?! She’s a good actress…?!?!?!
I feel like a lot of other Asian girls name themselves Nicole because they’re naming themselves AFTER Nicole Kidman —
Are they?!?!?!?!
(Nodding) — YES… They do that…
(Shrugs shoulders) — Well, that’s not why I’M named Nicole. I was given the name by an actual family friend. But it’s someone I never met. They passed away in my childhood…
Were your parents, mentored… by an Italian man?
(Shrugs shoulders) — I don’t know… possibly? We can ask them one day… face to face…
But it sounds like, maybe he was like a Godfather or something?!?!
(LOL) — We have nothing to do with the Italian Mafia — if you’re wondering.
(LMAO) — I didn’t even THINK of that — YOU just suddenly said that!!!
No, no, no, I remember now — He was Italian. He wanted to name me Nicola — Nicola, but my parents said, “Nicola?!” They didn’t like the “Lah~~” at the end. It just sounded weird to them. So then the guy said, “How about Nicole? Like Nicole Kidman?”
(Literally laugh-crying)……………………………………………..
Oh yeah? I guess I’m named after Nicole Kidman?!?!!?!?!?!?!
