Help[Games] Re: Big Smiles Adoption Center (with a twist)
in reply to a message by Array
Ellen, Jim, Laz, Toby, and Fifi, please welcome twins from China!
Heng Huan and Jia Lan, six-year-old twins from China! Heng Huan means "eternal happiness" and Jia Lan means "beautiful orchid." Heng has a cat which he is very attatched to- he named it Wei Wu which means "great sorcerer." He insists he keeps it with his new family. He is a stubborn, but lovable boy. He is pleased to know that his new family has a boy so close in age to him. Jia loves to dance and sing and laugh, and would delight in playing with Fifi. The twins are also interested in keeping their Chinese names but adding on an American name to use at school. Please help them choose a name.

How lovely!
Jia Lan will be a Julia in school, both because it's similar to her Chinese name and because Ellen and Jim admire St. Julia of Certaldo--and Jia Lan liked her story. At home, her siblings have taken to calling her Jiji.
Choosing a name for Heng Huan was more difficult, because it didn't immediately remind his parents of an English name. Because a sound-alike choice didn't seem like it would work, they told him stories of saints and important Biblical characters to see which he found most appealing. He liked St. Francis Xavier a great deal and was especially excited when Jim and Ellen told him that Francis Xavier was the patron saint of China. So Francis Xavier (he insisted on the full name) he is--Frankie for short.
Wei Wu has entered the family well--he's a friendly cat and gets along well with Daisy Pop, the family mutt.

You might even provide a Heaven for them. We need You for that. Hell we can make for ourselves.
