English Original
When our daughter was born, we named her Myles, after my beloved late father, despite family warnings that the name was too masculine.
Years later, when I felt she was old enough to understand, I explained to Myles, "Your name is very special. I named you after my own father because I loved him very much. I know he would be proud of you."
Myles thought carefully about this and then said, "I know all that, Mom. But I don't understand why my grandfather had a girl's name."

女儿出生时,我们不顾家人提醒这个名字太男性化,仍以我深爱的已故父亲的名字为她取名迈尔斯。
几年后,我觉得迈尔斯已经长大懂事了,便向她解释:“你的名字很特别。我给你取了和我父亲一样的名字,因为我非常爱他。我知道他会为你感到骄傲的。”
迈尔斯仔细想了想,然后说道:“这些我都懂,妈妈。但我不明白为什么外公会有一个女孩的名字。”
