So now I guess Linda would also curious with my name in kanji meaning. My family name inherits father's surname, Wang=王. It is easy to write and the meaning is "King" or "Winner".
Shih=詩, it means poem and poetry. In ancient Asian society, only the officials can learn how to write and read the books. At the beginning, my parents expected that I would be a versatile person when I was born. Or you also can think that my parents hope I could become a total person.
Ting=婷, it stands for the beautiful and wonderful. Because my parents choose this word, you can see the left part is 女 (it means girl), so this word is girly and popular to use in Taiwan. As for the right part's word "亭" also has the same pronunciation, it also means that you can get ahead in the life easily.
In Taiwan, our people like fortune-telling before name after baby name, also the name can show the parents' wishes.
So... Shih Ting? Sounds pretty cute :D though it's more difficult to pronounce and remember.
