What's in a name?


We finally chose their names!

Sophie Mei and Sage Li

Sophie means "wisdom", Mei means "beautiful" (pronounced May)
Sage means "wise", Li means "mighty" (pronounced Lee)
Their last name means "Bright"
We love it!

I had many different names I was considering, but these seem to fit so well. I have always wanted to use Sage (after one of my students) and we love the name Sophie.

Sorry mom B. & D., they would've been honored to be named after you, and in a way they are- you are both beautiful, mighty, and wise. They are lucky to have such wonderful grandma's. We really want to hold on to their heritage so, for a start, we chose some Chinese middle names.

The orphanage named them-
Xin Hong, Kang & Xin Hong, Jian
And the agency called them- Kimmi & Kyrie
(These will always be special names)
