Nama-nama melayu asli :
Dara, Teruna, Aduka, Puspasari, Arjuna, Melati, Kencana, Seri, Kasih, Chinta, Kenanga, Damaq, Kesuma, Intan, Nilam, Ayu, Mayang, Chantik, Chempaka, Embun, Endun, Hendun, Damak...
Kalau dapat go back in time, I will re-named my children Dara (juliana), Indera (iman), Kenanga (nadhirah)... yeah...yeah... most of you think... "eh.. eh.. kuno-nya, mana ada orang namakan anak dia orang macam gitu"... tapikan... apa salahnya... think about it.
For me, my parents gave the best malay names for their children : Sarah, Kamisah, Kadir, Ramli, Rashid, Raniah, Ramlah, Rashidah, Rehana, Salinda, Rizal.... just look at those names, there's no western sounding nor arabic meanings to their names... purely melayu.
I wished our malay society will be brave enough to use back those names at the top. Seriously, don't you think Arjuna, Nilam, Damak, Mayang.... is such a cool name....
