Me and DH have compromised - DCs get to have his surname and he gets to pick middle names and I get first names.
Surname is an unusual Scottish name ,but is a Mac.....
Middle name is Teà rlag if a girl and Teà rlach if a boy
I was born and grew up in Hong Kong and I only moved to the UK 8 years ago.
I count myself as Scottish - Hong Konger.
I speak cantonese (with friends me and my brother often spoke cantonese when we were younger and now and still will speak it to each other - we code switch most of the time). My parents still live out there.
So I want a chinese name for incoming DC - but not too chinese-y. (if that makes sence) they will probably have flaming red hair and be very pale and so I feel it would be odd to call them Chenguang or something.
So a Chinese name that isn't too chinese:
I've come up with:
Girls
Lan
Fei
Jia
Lin
Boys
Bao
Wei
Bai
Yanlin
Opinions/any suggestions ??
