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，我们给她取名叫迈尔斯，以纪念我深爱的已故父亲，尽管家人提醒说这个名字太男性化了。
几年后，我觉得她已经长大，能够理解了，便向迈尔斯解释道：“你的名字很特别。我用我父亲的名字为你命名，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。”
