When we start this family, we think of names as very important beginning for each of our child. The selection and short-listing of names began when each of them was still part of the mummy's "bun". As eager parents in the waiting, we always prepared two sets of names, you know, one for boy and one for girl. We didn't get to use the girl name until the last, well, its like Saved the Best for Last. As Chinese parents, we get to choose 2 sets of names of each of them, in Chinese and in English.
All the Chinese names here are in Hainanese pronunciation except mummy who is a Hakka dialect decent.
