Choosing a baby's name in modern China: e-feng shui

David in the comments section asked what Leo's Chinese name is. We finally decided and it is 沈泓仁 (Shen Hong Ren). 沈 is my wife's surname and is part of my wife's father's name. The middle character, ,was chosen because according to Chinese feng shui, Leo's birth date and time had too little "water." Also, it was recommended that we should add a little "gold." This character "泓" solves these issues.

Now, you may ask, how did we determine this? The internet, of course! You should not be surprised that the Chinese internet is abound with baby related and feng shui related resources. The two we consulted are http://zyname.com.cn and
