When our daughter was born, we named her Myles, after my beloved late father, despite family warning that the name was too masculine.
Years later, when i felt she was old enough to understand, I explained to Myles, "Your name is very special. I named you after my own father because I loved him very much. I know he would be proud of you."
Myles thought carefully about this and then said, "I know all that, Mom. But I don't understand why my grandfather had a girl's name.
当我们的女儿出生的时候,我们给她取名叫迈尔斯,这是我已故父亲的名字,家人提醒这个名字太男性化了。年后,当我觉得她有足够的了解,我向迈尔斯解释道,“你的名字很特别。我叫你如同自己的父亲,因为我非常爱他。我知道他会为你骄傲的。”迈尔斯仔细地想了一下,然后说,“我知道,妈妈。但我不明白为什么我的祖父有一个女孩的名字。
