[OT] Chinese & Indian names. Need help for writing

[sachmo]

Will the Bengal Chengs continue with the hybrid names, or will they lean to one side or the other.

My limited knowledge of Chinese culture leads me to believe that the Chinese family unit was historically matriarchal, so maybe they would begin to take Indian names.

There are always exceptions to the rule, but you could use the kids to emphasise the strength of personality of the mother or the father in the story.
