After a few days of debate and discussion, we've agreed on a name:
Zoë Mei-Lin
We think Mei-Lin is really pretty, and it is a combination of Mei-Mei and Lin. We have been calling "her" Mei-Mei since we first decided to adopt from China 4-5 years ago. Mei-Mei means little sister, and I think we'll continue to use it as a family nickname for her.
Lin is the name that she was given by her caregivers, and we wanted to keep a link to them and to her early months in China.
Together, Mei-Lin means beautiful forest, beautiful jade or plum jade.
As with the twins, she will also have Kate's surname as a middle name and then mine as her surname. It might seem a little clunky to have four names, but we think each of them has an important place.
