    Hi there

    I'm chinese and i know how superstitious (or i call it superstupid sometimes) Chinese parents can be. For example, we weren't allowed to have a baby in year of the Tiger due to our clashing of signs etc (not that it would have stopped us).

    Anyway, I usually just nod and ignore. THey can have a chinese name for bub that probably they will only use.

    DD does not have a chinese name at all but my parents call her KK for short (not really a chinese name but with a chinese accent =)

    Anyway, if you think you would offend them, just compromise and tell them they can use that name when your bub is at their house only.
