[Opinions] Help Xing find an English name! ; )

My Chinese friend, Xing, wants to have an English name. In Chinese, her name, literally, is the word for happiness. So maybe we can come up with something that means something along the same lines.

I noticed that no one suggested Bliss or Blythe as names. :o) Also, Chara, Gwyneth & Hana mean happiness. "I can't say I was ever lost, but I was bewildered once for three days." -Daniel Boone, American explorer

Makena means "happy"...
Leta means "glad"...
Farah means "joy"... I have a friend whose name is Su Jin and goes by Jewel because she thought it was pretty... are there any names that Xing is partial to?

You said she like Will, but changed her mind when I told her that it's typically a boy's name

How about Xena prn ZEE-nah?
It's a Greek name meaning "guest" or a variant of the Greek name Xenia (ZEE-nee-ah) meaning "hospitable".
Being a guest can be joyous and being hospitable can bring joy and happiness! Well maybe that's pushing it but I think Xena is a pretty name and similar to Xing.
