What’s in a name?
I have known for a very long time that our
daughter from China would be named Sophie. We have
discussed other names but
always come back to Sophie. We have chosen Mei (pronounced
May) as her middle name. In Chinese, mei means “beautiful”
or “little sister”. We like to combine them to mean
“beautiful, little sister”. As all of our children have
middle names of a special family member or ancestor,
Sophie will share “Mei” with her maternal great-great
grandmother, Rachel Mae. |
