Baby's Chinese Name- 39 wks 3 days

My parents are in town now to help with us when the baby arrives, also, I asked my daddy's help to chose Chinese name for our baby.

Chinese name is so complicated...it involved the number of drawing for each letter..the meaning..the sound...... If you wants to make it even more complicated..then it involved with the baby's timing of birth...the year and the birth animal the baby.......Let's not go that way..

Below are our consideration......We want something easy to pronounce in English..and with good meaning in the letters......both in a good total number of drawing and..in each letter..Here are our reference..

The first letter is decided....because it's the family name.......the second letter is decided...because my family's each generation has one specific letter...so we just needs to decide the third letter......
