My wife is Chinese so to honour her ancestry we're planning in incorporate a Chinese name into the middle name, but the challenge is trying to find a pretty combination that works. Of the following options, which do you like best?

Brooklyn Yuxi Matthews

Brooklyn Ivy Yuxi Matthews

Brooklyn Sloane Yuxi Matthews

Brooklyn Violet Yuxi Matthews

Brooklyn RuiQiu Matthews

Brooklyn Ivy RuiQui Matthews

Brooklyn Sloane RuiQui Matthews

Brooklyn Violet RuiQui Matthews

Notes: RuiQui is pronounced like Rachel and essentially means "smart and born in autumn" while YuXi is pronounced you-she and means "rainy brook".

(bare with me on the first name, i know Brooklyn isn't everybody's taste but we're avid travellers so like the idea of a geographic name)

Are you in the UK? I would avoid Sloane if so.

Number 4 sounds nicest.

Brooklyn Violet Yuxi Matthews.

Brooklyn Violet flows better than Brooklyn Ivy (and not keen on Sloane at all unless it means something important to you) in my opinion - fwiw!

No one will have a problem with geographic names, its the Beckham association that people will pick up on.

I would go with Brooklyn Yuxi Matthews and drop the other English name.
