What's in a name?

We are still toying around with the chinese name. Not only is there the 'han yu pin yin' to suit how to 'pronouce' it in English, there are also lots of chinese characters with the same 'pin yin' which are all meaningful and have to decide on one. There's also the concern about funny sounding names in the different dialects. But, like Richard's aunty said, 'its better to have a good heart rather than a good name as its the heart that makes you YOU' (the mandarin version of this phrase sounds much better and more poetic and this is my feeble attempt at translating it ;0)
