My daughter is about tow years old. I want to bing up her interest of English. At first, I must give an English name to her. It must sound pleasing and individuaion. Can you give me a good advice?

Maybe you can give us her name in your language, in case something similar is a possibility.

I can certainly give you advice! I love names! Haha. I don't know why, but I like to look up different names and see which ones I like. This has lead me to some baby names websites which I find very helpful, and you might as well.

The best ones I have found are:
www.babynames.com
www.babynamesworld.com

I think first you might like to think of what sort of style name you would like for your daughter. For example, you could like the sound of old fashioned names, or more trendy names. If you come up with any ideas then I could give you some examples of names if you like!

Also, it might help if you could tell me what her chinese name means in English. I am learning chinese at my school, but I'm not that good yet, and I don't know what it means, hehe.
