I don’t care for ‘little’ in the name. His milk name already has little in it and having it in his actual name as well feels off. Especially as he is unlikely to be little when he is grown with Jin for a father. I know that it could be considered funny in diverting expectations when he’s older but I don’t feel like both his milk and name and given name should be jokes. That said I really like the other names and would vote for more than 1 if I could!

I like "Strong Root" because that's not only a nod back to their earth spirit, it fits with being the offspring of a farmer and an herbalist.

On anything Tian, really. By now, the characters should be well-aware of her and her contribution.

Just to defend my choice. I feel like New Leaf would better represent how Jin Rou's taken off the beaten path of cultivation and "planting something new" A new family member budding off the family tree that is Fa Ram.

I feel like little field or little tree would be something more in line with what Jin would name his son. Jin's mindset would be far more in line with a name accentuating the benefits of strength through nurturing, as well as physical, spiritual, and mental growth. That's why the little field or little tree would make sense. A mountain doesn't actually grow. From it's creation it is just slowly weathered away away as the elements shave away the weak points. Little mountain implies an mighty martial lifestyle, something that is more along the lines of what a prideful warrior father would name his son with the belief that he'd face many weaker challengers. I think Jin would instead want a peaceful life for his children, not naming his kids in a manner that might provoke challengers.

If mountain wins, Meimei chose the name

Taran - or "Ta Ran" if you like. The kid will grow up on a farm inhabited by legendary heroes and think it "normal" until he goes out into the wide world. Also, Chronicles of Prydain were my Narnia growing up.

Blame the guy who invented the transcription from Chinese to the Latin alphabet. It sounds nothing like X in other languages at all. ^^ Only from listening I never know if something starts with X or Sh.

Arexio R.

technically the cast already has both due to pronunciations

Notcreepycreeper

But little mountain = hill so can both refer to what everyone feels when Jin’s Qi is out, as well as the Verdant Hills

Notcreepycreeper

Pls god no. This cast is already big enough without people doubling up on names

Andrew Denton

The dick joke is actually why I voted for Strong Root.

I really don’t want another name starting with X :D

Having "Little" in the name seems like a good nickname sort of thing, good for comical effect when the person is anything but little. But as part of the actual name, I think it isn't as good.

Jillian Kielo

I have a suggestion, pulled from google (so it’s possibly completely off): Jingxi - happy surprise. Or Fengye - which possibly means Maple Leaf

John Pratt

Shandan is the best one on that list, but I still think the baby should be named after Gramps.

Arexio R.

ehhh i dont know if i like any of these tbh. also why cant the little guy have both a chinese name and english nane?

BargleNawdleZouss

If Jin is about 6'2", then please make baby Rou grow up to be 6'7", i.e. two meters tall, making Xiaoshan a pun in 20 or so years.

Desy

That's a good point. I'm convinced. Thank you!

Scruffleupagas

And yet, will he ever be bigger than the smallest mountain? We are all a little part of a greater whole

Darune Albane

Ten (heaven) Lee (Healer)

Kyfe

New Leaf is obviously the superior choice. New addition to the family, new life, connection to the Maple Leaf, it has it all.

Proteus Jones

Tell that to Little John

JG

shandan cause he still needs to be little d

Christopher Ozouf

Not Lee, there is like a million Lee's. ;)

Ryan Pixler

Liantian! Let's make the kid the next chosen protagonist! Lol

smurfington

i don't like the xiao names, he is small now, not forever

Carl Mason

Hmm... If we pick Jiangen it will make for another dick joke to replace his nickname when he is older, but we don't want dick joke names. I also like Xinye, Kai, and Shandan, but without an idea of how the parents think of their son it is tough to choose between them. Hmm...

ARSLOTHES

What about naming him after gramps?

Munirah Hutchinson

I feel like Kai will put too much pressure and doesn't fit the personality of his parents in who they'dhope their child to be. Little mountain and root speak to being grounded. Root really speaks to the connection with home and being a solid foundation for growth.
