Adding dialect name in birth cert

Hi mummies, I was wondering if anyone still include dialect name in birth cert? I’m having trouble translating the name I want for my girl from Chinese to Hokkien. 😅

keep it simple, easier for the kids as well in fact, the surname already represent Dialect I didn't even put Chinese name for my lo, only surname + Christian name 😅

could always ask your parents :) why not? I think there's the novelty of having a dialect name :)

We had that trouble too. Ended up just keeping the chinese name as dialect as well 😂

Ah.. Okok. First time mummy that’s why! 😂

Nowadays no one really does that just your english name and chinese name

I won’t include. I don’t want to confuse the kid

Nope. Just their chinese and English name.
