Finally...a name

After 2 years of attempting to name our daughter, the process became much more focused once we received the translation of her Chinese name. We always knew that we wanted to incorporate "Danielle" after Suzy's great grandparents, Jewell and Carey Daniel, who were missionaries in China in the early 1900's. Translating her Chinese name, "Bai" means white and indicates Dianbai county where she lives; "Xiao" means dawning, and "Hui" means sunshine. There is a connotation of wisdom or knowledge according to our translator. Drawing on this information, we have decided on Danielle ("Ellie") Sophia. "Ellie" means light and "Sophia" means wisdom. So, Ellie Eisenberg it is.
