What's in a name?

Many people asked me why I named my children Charlynn, Charles, Chantz and Channery.

Well! Actually they have the name because they kinda rhyme with their Chinese name.

Jia1 Xin Charlynn
Tze3 Hao2 Charles
Tze3 Kang1 Chantz
Jia1 Yi4 Channery.

Many a times when we named our babies we have no reasons or logic. Charlynn was named Jia Xin as she was born petite and Charlynn means Petite and feminine. Charles was a name my mother in law wanted as he is the first grandson. His name is manly and strong. For Chantz, his is actually Chance- short form for Chancellor but everyone was making fun of his name as the second twin so second chance so we changed his name before he turned one.

As for Channery, her name means wise and intelligent. The first two children have names starting with letters "Char" and our last two children have names with letters starting "Chan".

BTW actually one of my friend pointed out that I love dancing so maybe my children have names starting Cha...Cha...Cha... Cha. because I can't stop having music in my life........very funny ho???
