[Opinions] Re: name for adopted Chinese baby
Having read Array's comment further down and your reply to that, I can only say that I appreciate what you're trying to do, that you want it to be right and respectful and appropriate. However, the adopted people I know in Sweden have the same types of names as everybody else, and I've never heard of them disliking it.
To name a few, I know a:
Kristin ( Korea)
Josefina ( Korea)
Agnes ( Korea)
Lina ( I think short for Karolina) ( Asian, not sure of country)
Autumn ( American-Asian, not adopted as far as I know)A Korean ( not adopted) girl named Jun-Hi Swedefied her name to Junni.
You could find names that mean something similair as one of her Chinese names, like:
Amala
Glenda
Phoebe
ReinaI like Sonia a lot, but it's very Russian to me, I'm not sure how it fits in with what you said. In spite of how popular Emma is, I think it'd be a nice choice, partly because of its meaning. Irma means the same. Chloe could work, very common though.
I'll think some more about this.
