article: Naming
an
American
Granddaughter As
a
Chinese
grandparent
of
an
American
granddaughter,
choosing
a
name
that
resonates
across
cultures
can
be
challenging
yet
rewarding.
We
want
to
pick
a
name
that
reflects
our
love
for
her,
honors
her
family
heritage,
and
suits
her
identity
as
a
citizen
of
the
world.
After
considering
various
options,
we
decided
to
give
her
a
name
that
has
both
Chinese
and
Western
roots,
and
a
positive
meaning. We
chose
the
name
"Lily
May"
for
our
granddaughter.
"Lily"
is
a
flower
that
symbolizes
purity,
beauty,
and
grace
in
Chinese
culture,
and
also
represents
a
common
English
name
that
has
been
popular
for
centuries.
"May"
is
a
month
that
signifies
spring
and
new
beginnings,
and
also
echoes
a
Scottish
name
that
my
wife
likes.
Together,
"Lily
May"
sounds
harmonious
and
elegant,
and
reflects
the
values
that
we
cherish. We
hope
that
our
granddaughter
will
feel
proud
and
comfortable
with
her
name,
and
that
it
will
inspire
her
to
embrace
diversity,
empathy,
and
lifelong
learning.
We
recognize
that
names
have
cultural
and
social
significance,
and
that
they
can
shape
our
identity
and
destiny
to
some
extent.
However,
we
also
believe
that
the
essence
of
a
person
is
more
than
a
few
letters
and
syllables,
and
that
love,
kindness,
and
character
matter
more
than
names
or
titles. We
are
grateful
for
the
opportunity
to
be
part
of

granddaughter's
life,
even
though
we
live
far
away
from
her
in
China.
We
look
forward
to
seeing
her
grow
and
flourish,
and
to
sharing
our
culture,
language,
and
wisdom
with
her.
We
know
that
she
will
face
many
challenges
and
opportunities
in
her
life,
and
that
she
will
need
courage,
resilience,
and
compassion
to
navigate
them.
We
hope
that
her
name
will
be
a
source
of
inspiration
and
strength
for
her,
as
well
as
a
reminder
of
her
family's
love
and
commitment
to
her
well-being. In
conclusion,
naming
our
American
granddaughter
was
a
thoughtful
and
joyful
experience
for
us.
We
chose
a
name
that
reflects
our
values,
culture,
and
hopes
for
her,
and
that
bridges
the
East
and
the
West.
We
hope
that
her
name
will
open
doors
and
hearts
for
her,
and
that
it
will
bring
her
joy
and
meaning
throughout
her
life.
We
also
hope
that
other
grandparents
and
parents
who
are
considering
naming
their
children
will
do
so
with
care
and
love,
and
that
they
will
celebrate
the
uniqueness
and
diversity
of
every
child.
