Bethany has a chinese name -- 彭 雅 妍

In the chinese culture, the grandparents are responsible for naming the grand-children. When I went home to Vancouer in February, I asked my dad to give Bethany a chinese name. Bethany is half Chinese and half Caucasian, and it is important to me that Bethany has a chinese name and that she can carry on the chinese heritage in her blood. Dad came up with three names which I was not allowed to find out until Bethany made her grand appearance. All three names are absolutely beautiful and the one that Joe and I picked is:

彭 雅 妍

雅妍是雅緻慧妍的意思
「雅」:粵音 AH, 國語音 YA。是形容威儀文采適當,清高不俗。
「妍」:粵音 YIN, 國語音 YAN。是形容美麗,非常的美麗。
