[quote=KEVIN0518,291945]Wow, great, Marrie. I don't like 8 because it sounds like "发(Fa 1)" in Chinese. "发" is usually used with "财(Cai 2)", meaning "getting rich". It is good, isn't? However, it is sometimes used with "暴发户(Bao 4 Fa 1 Hu 4)", which means "upstarts". Some of them live very luxuriously. I don't want to be a 暴发户. Marrie, did anyone tell you that odd numbers were not lucky? Some people told me this before. They say Seven was unlucky, especially when it was connected with Four. In Chinese, 47 has a similar pronunciation with "死去(Si 3 Qu 4)", which means "go to die". What do you think?[/quote]
