Chinese StarCraft II personality F91 welcomed a new addition to his family on Monday. His wife has just given birth to a baby girl, whom F91 named "Sun Huanjia" -- a Mandarin homophone for "base trade", which is a tactic that F91 is so famous for.
[image loading]

Translation: hey you 200,000 turncoats out there, this is gonna be her name.

The photo depicts the form containing the baby's birth information. Her name is 焕佳, which sounds exactly like the Chinese term for base trade, 换家.

If I ever get a daugter, I'm gonna call her "Ludicrously OP but Uninspiring Immortal Sentry All-in". But because I'll abbreviate that as Louisa, nobody will ever find out .

Original name at least. Better than being called something rinsed and boring like Emma or Lucy (or in this case probably the Chinese equivalents)

I always quite liked the name Soundwave if I had a boy, but since Michael Bay cheesed up the franchise I am not so enthusiastic on that name anymore.

Even if we find it funny, I think that name is a step too far. Too much StarCraft and not enough real life. Go tell her friends why her name is base trade.

Her name is actually not literally Basetrade. It just has the same pronunciation. The characters in the name and the underlying meaning behind the name are different.

Basetrade = 換家 (huanjia)
Her name = 煥佳 (huanjia)

What about Boxer's daughter, "Marin"? F91's daughter has a name with some sort of an indirect pun, Boxer named his daughter after StarCraft unit

EDIT: wait where did I read that, I can't find anything about it now

Well, you can always make an excuse and say it's French. E.g. Marine Le Pen (I'm not a fan).

First character means "brilliant, lustrous" and second character means "fine, beautiful," so it's actually quite a nice name. It's just a homonym for basetrade, so it'll have a funny story behind it. But the actual name itself is very normal I'd say

To those who think F91 and his wife made an overstepping joke to their daughter, they really didn't.
The name sounds very beautiful in Mandarin. It simply has the same pronunciation as base trade.

I don't know much about Mandarin, but it seems that you can do a lot with homophones. So I guess in this case she can have a nice name and a private joke at the same time.
SC2 is the best game to watch and was the best to play before I grew old and slow...

So I guess if his daughter ever starts making videos or streaming, her channel would be called BaseTradeTV

Brilliant name!

Btw, I'm not sure if F91 also follows this, but to my understanding, some ppl also pick names according to the number of strokes in order to balance the elements. Would've been quite hard to make everything align.

F91's son is called 孙宁(Sun Ning), Sun is last name and Ning comes from their co-worker Zhou Ning, which is a quite common and boring name.

I think F92 is now in first or second grade? So about 7 years old
