Names for an adopted daughter

Can I have thoughts and impressions on these names please? Our daughter is being adopted from China, if that weighs in on your view at all.

I love name name Maura - it's so pretty!
I disagree with the others, however, I believe that your daughters name should be a name to reflect your family and suggest giving her a family name as a middle name rather than one to reflect Chinese heritage. Although I feel that the name should not be "odd" for her, ie: it might be odd if you named her Gretchen or something obviously of a different background, I really feel that she is YOUR daughter now and a member of YOUR family. She might appreciate having a family name.
Enough of that.... Love the name Maura!

That's because Maura is Spanish (and/or Italian, for that matter) as well. Different origins, but it is another great aspect of the name, especially for parents who might not want something immediately associated with a certain ethnicity. Kind of interesting that way. ;)
Very cool you know TWO, btw. It really is lovely, as evidenced by the cross-cultural appeal.
