Anastasia finally has a Chinese name!

Thank you to all who gave your suggestions and comments for Stacey's Chinese name. After a lot of deliberation, Faith and I, together with Faith's parents, finally decided what her name will be.
Anastasia Ho Pei-En 佩 恩
Features of her name:
  • Anastasia is the Greek word for Resurrection
  • Together with the surname and initials of her Chinese name (Ho P E), we get Resurrection Hope, which is what we hope she will grow up to have.
  • Her Chinese name can mean:
    • respect (佩) and grace () or;
    • to wear or put on (佩) grace ()
  • We pray that Stacey will grow up to respect and be respectful, to know God's grace and be a gracious and loving lady.
We hope that this name will turn out to be an accurate description of the person that our little girl will turn out to be. And on your part, we hope that you will pray this for her.

For God's glory...
