German man, Chinese lady, what name should they give a baby?

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
