A lot of girls get that name I guess. My sister got the name man 蠻 which can mean barbarian/wilful. There WAS a good meaning to it that my father explained but it's slipped my mind now. Hers is more unique. *makes face*
Girls get flowers, or beauty... if the parents are lazy. On the other hand, girls DO get some really pretty/meaningful names too. Like my mother's - though you'll just have to take my word for it that it IS pretty, because I can't remember it.
Weekend is... 周末? It LOOKS nice though. :P
Actually, that's a very interesting name, just like calling someone Rake or Door in one of those really odd fantasy novels. My friend had a relative - grandmother, I think - whose name implies something like "I had a daughter and can't throw her away, so I might as well keep her".
