[quote=\"Lani\"]Omg, why choose this name? Most of the people alr started to laugh and make fun with the name . Is it possible to rename the sch again by giving a few names for these three sch students to vote? I feel that we should trust and respecting them to choose the name for themselves.

Ya lor, why not just give it a simple name that makes the kids sound smart too. Like Raffles or Hwa Chong, so easy to pronounce, also very 威风 you know

:rotflmao:

I checked your profile - student.

Just curious, how old are you?[/quote]difficult to pronounce meaning 有墨水 mah....

The name sounds girly, do not see how Catholic High boys are involved
Besides, if u break up the 3 sound syllabus, the last 2 sound syllabus ... Sound like nonya food, or nonya ladies.
Whether food related or nonya Persnakan girls involved (perhaps more apt for SCGS girls), the name of this JC sounds ... Feminine

When you say aloud this name Eunonia : do you feel associated or related to St Nick or Catholic High strong missionary heritage background ?
Zero !

If can't compromise with scgs girls, the sng and chs pupils can tell them : you nonya, we aren't.\"

Wasn't pleased with the name too. It sounds too nonya or like in a street road in Eunos.
Given both SNG and CH are SAP schs except for SCGS, wouldn't it be simple to name as ''SAP JC\" instead.

Could have been worse. Like SingaporeChineseCatholicNicholas JC. Or BeautifulAndSoundMind JC.


Think positive.

Seriously, why choose a Greek name for a government institution?? We were still joking about some posh French names for the JC months ago. The leaders might have taken a leaf from those suggestions. :faint:

The more obscure the name/language, the more atas it is mah :rofl:
Now that French speakers so 俗, maybe MOE thought Greek will raise the atas quotient.

Anyone knows what is the previous JC before this new JC? When was that and what is the name? Thanks.

The 2 JCs established post 2000 are:

Innova JC, 2005
Meridian JC, 2003

You-know-ah? I don’t know.


The Greek name Eunoia has no link or significance to the 3 feeder schools. So what if Eunoia means "beautiful mind" (想得美 初中）? Anyone who has been a parent before would know that if one’s surname is 胡, do not name his baby 莉晶, else the child will be teased for the rest of her life.

Previously, many forummers suggested many other nice names like "College By the Park" etc, I think more atas and more relevant to the local context.

Guess it's IJC, about 10 years old now. Innova.
....Innova, Eunoia...herrm.. they rhyme, like a lazy or toothless way of pronouncing innova. Hope taxi drivers don't get confused.
