Collin is my name!


For whatever reason, I have been given the name Collin Cheah Yi Wen by my Papa and Mama. Must make note to ask them how they came up with this name. Ah well, I guess I can live it. Better than Diego or Ronaldo, right? Mama doesn’t seem to like those names. ;-P

Did some basic research on my name and this is an extract of it, taken from
www.thinkbabynames.com :

The boy's name Collin \c(ol)-
lin\ is pronounced KAH-lin. It is of Scottish origin. Variant of Colin, which is of Irish, Scottish and Gaelic origin, and its meaning is "young creature". Diminutive form of the medieval name Col or Colle, a short form of Nicholas (Greek) "people of victory". In Scotland, it has been used as an Anglicized form of Cailean (Gaelic), popular among the Campbells and the MacKenzies.
