The name "Lia" has several meanings, depending on the origin.
In Greek, Lia means "bringer of good news."
In Assyrian, spelled Leah, it means "female ruler."
In Hebrew, spelled Leah, it means "weary."
Lia's middle name is Jiamin, which is also my Chinese name. Jiamin is actually two words: Jia means "family" and Min means "smart and clever." It was given to me by my grandmother. All of my father's male siblings' kids have Jia as part of their names. While it is not Chinese tradition to name someone after someone else in the family, we thought this gives a uniqueness to her name as well as showcases her (half) Asian heritage. And what the heck, we just like it!
Houdini: she can break out of a swaddle faster than you can say swaddle!
Lia-Do: her cute faux-hawk that she got in the hospital after her first bath. We can't seem to replicate that 'do!
