We had the same problem!
Go with a famous person's (e.g. actor / actress) first name; a person who is revered and liked on three continents. As a middle name take the mother's family name as a polite gesture.
German man, Chinese lady, what name should they give a baby?
OK, here are my suggestions...
FOR A BOY:
1) Liam (This is a variant of "William," which is of Old German origin. It also contains the following Chinese boy's name within it:
Li: strength).
2) Wendell (It is of Old German origin, and its meaning is "wanderer". However, it also contains the following Chinese boy's name within it:
Wen: cultured, or ornamental).
FOR A GIRL:
1) Antje (This is of Hebrew origin, and its meaning is "grace". It is also a German variant of Ann. Moreover, it sounds similar to these Chinese girl's names:
An: peace
Jin: golden
Genji: gold).
2) Lenna (This is of Old German origin, and its meaning is "lion's strength". It also sounds somewhat similar to the following Chinese girl's names:
Lien: a lotus
Lian: a graceful willow).
You could also come up with first-and-middle-name-combinations like: "Liam Wendell" or "Antje Lenna" or "Antje Lien," etc.
Hope this helps!
*****EDIT: I see you've added something new about "Wendell." In that case, you might try this for a boy's middle name...
--Bogart (This is of Old French and Old German origin, and its meaning is "bow strength; orchard". The name is also used in Old Dutch with the meaning "apple garden". Moreover, it contains the following Chinese boy's name within it:
Bo: precious). *****
Reply:Hi there!
Here are a few ideas:
Girl:
Maylin (Chinese:Beautiful Jade) Annika (German: Gracious, Merciful)
Analise (German: Grace) Bai (Chinese: Pure)
Boy:
Carsten (German: Christian) Le (Chinese: Powerful)
Tai (Chinese) Mendel (German: Little Man)
Stefan (German: Crown) Park (Cypress Tree)
Good luck!
Reply:Maybe you could combine a Germanic first name with a Chinese middle name or vice versa such as:
for a girl:
Adelina Sun or Adelina Jun
Erika Sun
for a boy:
Carl Li
At babynamenetwork.com you can look up names of each ethnicity and find something that works!
Reply:If they are both American now, name the baby an American name.
Reply:girl: Daisy, Stella
boy: Daren, Shane
