Dunno, honoring the president who got you out of a North Korean prison is kinda worth giving Jefferson as a middle name for your daughter. Pretty sure that's what they were thinking.

Oh that's her. So they have a point. But Bill Clinton is so not the first person you think of when hearing the name Jefferson. I'm pretty sure there are more feminine names which are closer to Bill Clinton than Jefferson. Think Wilhelmina?

No kidding!

I'd have named my kid Bill Clinton if he'd have asked, at that point. o_O Not to use a kid as a sacrificial sort of name offering, but still.

See I would never do that. There are better ways to show your gratitude IMO.

I would have tried Wilhelmina, from his first name. At least it's a mn. Li is a Chinese girl's name, so that's understandable, since the baby is half Chinese American.

I read somewhere that she said Li is honoring her sister Lisa.

In the original post here, I saw it too....

But one of the posters in this thread sounded (to me, at least) as if they came up with it out of nowhere and why would you name a girl Li/ Lee. It's honoring the aunt, also part of their cultural heritage, and if girls can be Leigh, why not Li?
