She has a hebrew name. So its more religious than ethnic I guess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-an-ethnic-name-as-well#post-944742 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 04:51:18 +0000 lamariniere 944742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sort of. DS's name is excessively French, but they are also names that work just fine in English. It's funny, if an American pronounces his first and last name, it sounds like he should be of African American heritage. But if a French person pronounces his name, he sounds like a white boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-an-ethnic-name-as-well#post-944703 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 02:16:04 +0000 PurplePeony 944703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both the girl and boy names we picked out sound good in both English and DH's first language. It was very important to me to find names that work in both. Middle name will be my last name and they'll have DH's last name -- so I think it will be a nice blend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-an-ethnic-name-as-well#post-944694 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 01:36:25 +0000 joyjoy 944694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD has an unofficial Chinese name. My parents are the only ones who use it, which is funny because my grandparents were the only ones who called me by my Chinese name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-an-ethnic-name-as-well#post-944684 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 01:21:49 +0000 mynoahbear 944684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has a Japanese first name </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-an-ethnic-name-as-well#post-944671 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 01:10:42 +0000 BoogieBea 944671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They both have their Chinese name as one of their middle names. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-an-ethnic-name-as-well#post-944667 Fri, 19 Jul 2013 01:09:40 +0000 Ginabean3 944667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO's middle name is Chinese! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-an-ethnic-name-as-well#post-944203 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 21:02:01 +0000 beachbee 944203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, hebrew name! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-an-ethnic-name-as-well#post-944175 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 20:50:32 +0000 lolabee 944175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, our LO's first name is Hebrew </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-an-ethnic-name-as-well#post-944161 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 20:48:15 +0000 anbanan15 944161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This baby will have a Japanese first name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-lo-have-an-ethnic-name-as-well#post-944087 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 20:27:13 +0000 mamimami 944087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter's first name is Latin/Hispanic and my son's middle name is...
