Hi, my name is Adlene. Enelda is Adlene spelled backwards in case you haven't noticed. :p Why is my name Adlene? Some people find it hard to believe that my name is just, well, ADLENE. Maybe due to the Malay culture of parents naming their child with very long names, my very short name seems awkward. Eventhough, my name is ADLENE, many people (and I mean MANY people) have difficulty pronouncing my name. I've been called Adlina, Adlini, Edlin and God knows what other weird pronounciations I've had to endure through my 25 years of life. Whatever it is, I love my name because my father gave me that name. I wouldn't trade my name for anything in the world! :) Plus, it would be a convenience for my future husband to say my name during 'akad nikah'. "Aku terima nikahnya ADLENE BINTI ARIS...". Hahah! Well, it would be a nightmare to give your child a name that's longer than the space usually provided on school exercise books. For instance, imagine naming your child, SITI NUR SYAQIAH NURUL ASYIQIN BIN ABDUL AZIZ! Would not that be a mouthful for everyone to pronounce her name? It would be a much bigger problem for her when filling up forms for university applications, bank forms etc. Oh, the agony! Hahah.. And finally, bear in mind for the future husband of your daughter. Ahhhh... I would not want to burden my child with such long names. Kesian you know? I'd just keep it short and simple, but it would have to have meaning. :) Talking about meaning, mine can't be traced in Arabic, to date I only found one Arabic meaning to my name in a Baby Name Book my sister bought years ago. Adlene if spelled in Arabic with an 'Ain' and not 'Aliff' brings the meaning KEADILAN or justice. Heheh.. Am I just? :) I think so. ;p While tracing back the meaning in Old English (yes, it's originated from Old English, my father sure has taste in naming his daughter-lah!), my name means "the noble one". Noble am I? Heheh.. ;p All in all, I love my name. And my family. Also my beloved boyfriend. Speaking of love, my boyfriends name is Syafiq. It's Arabic for LOVING. :)
