Give me some female fn suggestions to fill in the blank:

 _________ Linh Tang

Some background: We are not TTC #2 yet, but plan to start in a few months. We cannot agree enough on any girl names to even start a list!

DH is Vietnamese, I am Irish/Italian. DS is Kilian Thomas, and our last name is Tang. I would like to use a Vietnamese name (that sounds the same in English) but there aren't any that I like enough. DH has a cousin named Linh, and my mn is Lynn (after several family members) so I figured using Linh as a mn is a good way to honor his heritage while honoring my family too.

The problem is finding a fn that sounds good with this mn and our last name. We tend to like Irish and Italian names and generally prefer less common names. A tall order, I know. Given all of this, anyone have any suggestions that might work? If you made it all the way though this, thanks!

When I was really young I had a friend with your same situation. Her name was Lydia. I think that would sound nice.

I new a young woman named Thuy. She was also biracial and her last name was Rider. I still really love this name and think that it's a great name. Lien is also a really pretty name that I like in Vietnamese- means lotus.

Wow... thanks for all those suggestions! Some of them I've never seen before, though I've been a name geek since we started looking for names for DH. Definitely some to consider. Thanks!
