Xiao Yan posted a funny dream of hers about the name Trimenda. This coincides with a funny incidence Scott and I had about baby names.
We like the name Kai. It's monosyllabic and can be easily translated to a Chinese name. Then Scott saw another monosyllabic name: Gwen. Then he said how about Gwen Kai with Kai as the middle name? The funny thing is in Chinese Gwen Kai sounds just like "Gun Kai"(go away, get out of here). It would be pretty confusing when we call our kid: "Gwen Kai, come here!" :)
On the baby book name, there is another one: Sheina, sounds like "who is it?" in Chinese.
These names crack us up.

or, kai gwen (开关). sheina sounds nice. but kai is easy to pronounce for babies and she would learn to say her own name earlier. s/sh seems to be hard for babies to pronounce.
hahahahaha, that cracks me up too!
you have all the time in the world to change mind a million times before she is born!
It would be worth it just to be able to say
"Gwen Kai Guo Lai,
Gwen Kai Guo Lai ..."
That's fantastic. We should all make suggestions, and you could tell us what strange things they translated into in Chinese!
