Good question Rosie,

I've been thinking the same thing. I've been sitting here studying the name trying to figure out how it's pronounced.

Hi Rosie and Soooska,

maomaochiu is pronounced as spelled: mao-mao-chiu. it is chinese forfuzzy-fuzzy- ball, and yes, you may have already guessed that 'mao'means 'fuzzy' and 'chiu' means 'ball'!!!

i'm gald you are just as curious as the bunnies!!!

Rosie, i may start to think of an american middle name for him too!!! any suggestions??

maomaochiu

 

[maherwoman]

Hehe...how about Maomaochiu Puff?

So, is it pronounced like "mow", like meow without the "e"?For example, when someone hurts themselves and says, "Ow!"?

Am I right in assuming "Chiu" is pronounced like "chew"?

Again, just curious...love to learn about other languages.

Maomaochiu Puff?! HMmmm, that sounds soooooooFUNNY!!!! thanks! maomaochiu already said that helikes that!

Rosie, you are right, 'mao' is like 'mow' and 'chiu' is like 'chew',not exactly but close enough. i also call him 'silly willy'.

 

[maherwoman]

Too cute!! I love his name...

 

[missyscove]

I've wondered about his name too. I'm glad to know I've been saying it right, well, in my head, lol.

Is this Cantonese, or another form of Chinese? Somehow i can't picture Mao Tse-Tung as "fuzzy."

BTW, very cute name!

haha! this is Mandarin chinese, which is spoken by mostchinese people. cantonese is a dialect of chinese that isspoken by people from Hong Kong and Canton, and yes, maomaochiu's 'mao'is the same as 'mao tse-tung''s 'mao', but when 'mao' is used as a lastname, it does not mean anything. just like when 'white' is alast name, it does not mean that the person is Caucasian.

Thanks! I don't know any Mandarin (well, a few words, maybe) - but I'm very interested in languages.

Of course, it's the same with English, as far as last names...
