And she shall be called 利恩颐

Finally we can finalize our baby's chinese name. :D

she's seems to be quite happy with this name as when we call her she's moving alot in mummy's tummy... :D (or is it the other way round... :D )

Now, we still praying for the Christian name for her as we know that God has a purpose for her and we want a name that reflects her godly characters, after all, that's the whole purpose for naming a person right?

If you dont believe me, try to think back when was the last time you called some one "piggy" just because they quite chubby, sleep alot and drive a "PGY" car number plate?? (dont tell that driver.... :P )

Then also, when was the last time you call some one "sotong" (squid) due to his/her blurness??
That's the purpose for name, it should reflect the person's characters :)

We can look at the past especially in the bible, where we have Jabez, Joshua, Jeremiah, Hosea, Jeho-so-fat (Jehosaphat) and even Jesus. Each person has a name that bring meaning to themself and to the people around them.
