Jung Lai Fong

My sister's name is Jung Lai Fong, we share the last character, Fong, its our family's generational name, following our father's side.  Coincidentally, my cousin Sharon's name also has a Fong, but since she's on our mother's side, not sure if that was intentional or not.  How could her father also have a line of "Fong's" at the same time.  Her name is Chu Shi Fang (Fong).
In any event, this is one reason i was so annoyed at Jake for not using his real Chinese name--it has a meaning and a line of heritage.  It was chosen with great care by David and his mother through some big book.  Through this, David and his mother realized his name (+ his brother's names) are wrong -- sharing a common name on his mother's side, not father's side-----so he wanted to change his name so as to not break the chain of names he was supposed to have......

My friend Kate's name is Tin Gai Hey--now you have to find out how to write it Kate!
