Help[Opinions] Re: name for adopted Chinese baby
in reply to a message by Bonnie
Naomi Fujing (but Naomi is also Japanese, and giving a Chinese born baby a Japanese name seems improper to me)
But Naomi in Japanese, IIRC, would be pronounced like NOW-mee (NOW with the OW as in cow), not nye-OH-mee or nay-OH-me, so I don't see a problem with it.
Naomi and Thalia (if you're saying THAY-lee-ah, which is apparently the original English prn. and which Cleveland Kent Evans has totally gotten me into, lol) are my two favourites, but any of them would sound fine with Malachi and Elias.
As for fitting best with "a Chinese face," I'll direct you towards a post Adelle made a while ago, which sums up all my frustrations with questions like that: http://www.behindthename.com/bb/arcview.php?id=761048&board=baby
