The quote you put at the top of the page, is that real?
Okay, to elaborate, and give more credit where credit's due, my parents were more deliberate in choosing my two other names meaningfully.
The one that my relatives call me is ๆๆถ, which is Mom's surname (ๆ) + crystal (ๆถ).
The one that nobody calls me but goes in the genealogy books is ๅ็ต, which comes from the verse, "ๅฑฑไธๅจ้ซ๏ผๆไปๅๅ๏ผ ๆฐดไธๅจๆทฑ๏ผๆ้พๅ็ต" (Rough translation: the mountain doesn't have to be tall; as long as it houses immortals, it'll be famous. the lake doesn't have to be deep; as long as it houses a dragon, it'll be spirited). I like the meaning; basically, don't judge worth based on outer appearance, but based on character. I got the "be spirited" part, while my brother got the "be famous" part.
