I think they should have names that are traditional to where they will be living and growing up. maybe give them chinese middle names honoring their heritage.

i am sooooo jealous of you!!! you are soo blessed! wow!! when i adopt from China i know exactly what names i want to use, i dunno about Chinese names it depends how they sound with your surname really and how easy they are to pronounce and spell in English, you could always use their Chinese names as their middle names,but here are some name ideas that are cute

Corbin and Lily
Blake and Katie
Riley and Grace
Josh and Jade

some Chinese names i like are

BOY
Chi-younger energy
Syaoran-little wolf
Zhi-wisdom,healing
Jie-pure

GIRL
Da-Xia-big hero
Li Ming-pretty and bright
Yi-happy
Xiao Hong-morning rainbow

their collective nn can be Xing Xing -twin stars how cute is that?! i love it so much, and GL i am so pleased for you

I think you should give them american names because they will be american. Middle names can be chinese. I suggest you:
- Lily Mei and Tyler Bo (Mei means Beauty, Bo means Waves)
- Sophia Lin and David Tian (Lin means Beautiful jade, Tian means Heaven)

Good luck! Fiona

I would possibly give them Chinese middle names. You probably want them to have first names that are more accepted in the US. I teach school and I had a set of twins in my class this past school year. Their parents adopted them from Cambodia and chose to give them Cambodian middle names to go along with their English sounding first names.
