Well my first name is most definitely a 1950's girl's name. It fact, it sounds abit flatfooted with my last name. Too bad it wasn't a 2 syllable first name. But at least, it is an approachable Anglo/French first name to...match up with an exotic sounding Asian last name.

And my first name in Chinese is beautiful and common. It translates as "Precious" or "Treasured". And middle name means Orchid, a very common name given to Chinese females.

Next sister's first Chinese name translates as "Twilight" or "Dusk".

And parents should explain to a child the meaning of their name, particularily if the child's name sounds "foreign". I found through friends....um 20 years later, what my names meant. Guess parents didn't think it was important to explain.
