As a side note, when I said "Summer Rain" is a wee bit odd for a name, I didn't mean it was, y'know, totally off or unacceptable or anything...just that it isn't usual.
Most names, in my experience, tend to be...virtues, or somethin', or positive qualities. Abstract stuff. That said, it isn't unheard of to name a kid after flowers or something, so that's fine. In any case, Chinese parents can be just as spaztastic in naming their poor kids as any Western parent, and "Summer Rain" at least has a poetic meaning.
I know someone named "Good Good", which sounds just as silly in Chinese as it does in English.
