      [quote=\"starlight1968sg\"]Eunoia JC? Please rethink the name

      http://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/e ... k-the-name

      Can someone enlighten me what's wrong with the name innova? I always associate it to innovation and creativity :idea:

      Nothing wrong. I liked the Innova name for the same reasons as you.

      It is unfortunate that the author felt the need to heap on other JCs just because he was peeved because his alma mata is going to be associated with a pee-sounding name.[/quote]Same thoughts here. Innova is also easier to pronounce and remember.

      Can't associate Eunoia (realised it's difficult to type with too many vowels) with any of the 3 schools which are filled with history, tradition, affiliation and alumni. It just lack the connection.

        Got what. Mr Brown already said it connects quite well with the Kim Geks of SCGS. I second that opinion.

          However, a handful of the students (maybe incl some geppers from CHS) from the 3 feeder schools could have done well enough to go to more established (and with better sounding name) JCs like National, Victoria or Raffles. So why would they want to associate with a pee-sounding name?

            The Greek word has totally nothing to do with Nonya, pls. People just wanna make fun of it lah. In terms of pronunciation, \"Pneumonia\" sounds more similar than Nonya.

              I remember my pri sch readers had this name Kim Gek and she was always with Ho Seng. šŸ˜‚

              Indeed Eunoia has 5 vowels out of 6 letters. I don't have dyslexia but I have to slow down when typing this name. You know ah, it's annoying!

                      With the name finalised, next will be the design of its uniform. Hope the people will make it simple and smart. No fanciful out-of the-box design please. :nailbite:

                        Sorry... but simple and smart don't fit in with the idea of you know ah. It has to be rainbow colours or polka dots or hoops to go along with the creative school name.
