My parents named me 思慕 (sīmù), from the Chinese characters 思想 (sīxiăng), meaning introspection or ideation, and 羨慕 (xiànmù) meaning the envy or longing for something one doesn’t have. My name was meant to be a reminder of my parents’ journey and the sacrifices that they made along the way—I would always be envious of the other children whose parents never left their side.
So Sīmù wasn’t exactly a name that evoked the happiest of memories; luckily, I had two! In China, it is extremely common for loved ones and close family members to give you nickname, or “little name.” I was only ever called Sīmù if I was in trouble— 刘思慕 (liúsımù) if I really messed up. Otherwise, I was known to my family as 毛毛 (máomao), which roughly translates to “little furry caterpillar.” It was much less depressing than “introspective envy” … and way cuter.
