Samuel Joseph WeiLun Barsch

So we've decided on an American name: Samuel Joseph WeiLun Barsch. Joseph is a big name in the Engels family: Sam has an Uncle Joey, and Annie's dad is John Joseph. We wanted to keep his birth name incorporated, so we're giving him two middle names. We have good friends who are a biracial Chinese-American family, and they also gave their children a second Chinese middle name. There's no family connection for Samuel, but I like that it works both as a cute kid's name ("Hey Sammy!") and as a dignified adult name (Samuel Johnson, Samuel Adams, etc.).
