	Fuling Kids' Names
		At the Fuling SWI, all the children are given the family name Fu, which means "good luck." Note that the "fu" in "Fuling" is pronounced the same, but is written completely differently in Chinese and has a completely different meaning.
		Often, names and customs are built around puns based on word pronunciations - bats are considered lucky animals in China because the word for "bat" is also "fu," again pronounced the same way but with another completely different character.
		Personally, I like it when the Western name reflects the Chinese name in some way -- "Sophia" means "wisdom," which is similar enough to "brilliance" for me. But in the end, only you know which name really belongs to your child.
