A friend shared with me recently why she named her daughter Emily. How delightful! We christened our Emily by this name for a few reasons:
- It honoured Don’s deceased mother
- My deeply-loved Opa’s name was Max Emil
- In Chinese, Ai(爱) is love; Mei (美) is beauty; Li (力) is strength or power – I May Lee is how it would be pronounced and how I often liked to say her name, loving her Chinese heritage, and recognising how each of those words pertained perfectly to who she was and how I felt about her
So now I have another reason to love the name of Emily, the name we gifted our forever-loved daughter.
