Pui Fun's name in Chinese

Hi Sarah and Gary. here is how stella's chinese name is written in chinese. the spelling given is phoneticised cantonese: "pui fun". the other version "pei fen" is in mandarin, and written in pinyin, the international standard for phoneticised chinese. as you can see, it is a lovely name: esteemed fragrance. add to this thought other associated ideas and you have possibilities like "reputation, honour, sweetness of nature, achievement and success". why is this? the idea of "fragrance" is that it travels in the air, unbounded. so stella has it in her charts to touch others. add the idea of "stella" which means star, and the idea of reputation and honour and inspiration is affirmed even more positively. stars shine and always guide. these are just a few thoughts...

Stella Eve Pui-Fun Browne

Hello All

Here are a few photos of our new daughter Stella. She was born at home in the throes of fireworks at 12 minutes past midnight on the 1st of January 2007 - what an entry to the world! It truly was a "stellar eve". As she was the second baby born in the state this year, we were interviewed the following day to appear in our local paper (please note, headline does NOT refer to us!).

At birth she weighed 3.9kg (about 8.6 lbs) and was 52cm (about 20.5 inches) and is very strong and healthy. She has a fantastic pair of lungs which she loves to exercise. She loves bathing and being carried in a sling close to us - we love it too! Love from Sarah and Gary
