I was curious if anyone has any favorite female Asian names to share??? There is someone I know who "might" be adopting a baby girl from China. This is something most wanted but finances are the issue. But in the mean time I was curious on some cute Asian names.

Thank you in advance :)

Asian? As in Chinese to reflect her heritage?

Mei "mey"
Mei Yen
Shuxin - kind of pronounced like "sing sing"
Jia
Lin
Zhen

Not sure what ethnicity, but asian girls I know:
Hoen "hoe-en"
Chiann "chee-ANN"
Shin
Shyan or Shayn "SHAN" - can't remember how to spell it at the moment
Han "HAHN" like hahn the beer
Cham "CHAHM" like charm

My best friend's name is Xue Li, I think it sounds very soft and pretty :)
(she actually never really goes by it, her parents decided to westernize her name to make it easier for people here, so she usually goes by Shirley)
Her sisters are Xue San and Xue Xi (or something similar sounding to that at least)

at my school there are a lot of asian girls and boys with lovely names but I see you're looking for eastern asian. I know one girl from Hong Kong called Ka Wai and one from the philippines called Angel.

I knew a sibset (I believe they were Malay Chinese) and they were three girls ; Ping, Ching and Ling.
I actually thing Ping is really very cute and I really like the sound of Ling.

Some Thai names I like are; Wanida, Vepada, and Mookie.

Well, that was horribly disrespectful.

Just because names may sound like just random sounds to you, doesn't mean they don't hold meaning. In fact, most Chinese names are created specifically for the child to hold a special meaning for both the baby and the parent.

Hard on your stairs, not to speak of your pots and pans. :-0
