Name game

I meant to mention earlier that we're working on a name. Her first two names are easy: Amalia May, after one of Jon's great grandmothers, and one of mine. We'll call her Mali. After that, naming this beautiful little girl gets tougher.

• Should we keep her Chinese name as a middle name?
  
• Should we drop it all together?
  
• Will her last name be Rainford or Dreibelbis?
  
• Should we hyphenate last names?
  
• What order should they go in?
  
• Should we create a new last name (Dreirain, Rainbelbis)
  
• Will I take Jon's last name socially and use Rainford professionally so the Kindergarten teacher doesn't think I'm kidnapping my daughter? (Unlikely)

Amalia May Rainford Dreibelbis is today's best guess. (File that under D and R in the Rolodex)

We'll keep you up-to-date on the soap opera. Any and all suggestions are welcome as long as you don't try to invoke cloture with your idea.
