Question:
Dylan's Chinese name is Zhong An Na (Zhong is the last name) In keeping with tradition, we use the child's first name as their new middle name. So Dylan An Na Ashton would be her name. Problem is An Na, looks exactly like Anna. Which would mean I'd have to spend a lifetime saying no it's not Anna, it's Eh'na. So do i just go for Zhong instead? or add an apostrophe as in An'Na? Or just call it a day and pretend, yes, it is Anna!
My vote is for her first name exactly the way it is spelled. I love history in a name! Go with An Na!
ReplyDeleteWe didn't know that our translator in Vietnam's name was Ah Na (pronounced Anna) until we were home!
ReplyDeleteFor ease of paperwork, I'd go with Anna, but like you we used the twins' VN names as their second middle name.
What did you decide?
