Xiao Yuan named the three children individually.
The oldest child was named Xiao Yi, with Yi sounding like the word "one," to denote he was the first child. Yi also implies righteousness and grace, with a hope that he would grow up to be benevolent and righteous.
The siblings were named Xiao Ren and Xiao Tong.
Ren, which consists of the characters for "person" and "two," signifies that Xiao Ren was the second child, and carries the hope that the child would grow up kind-hearted.
As for Xiao Tong, the name was chosen with the hope that the child would have a lively spirit, representing a beautiful blessing.
Having grown up so much, the three children finally had their formal names, all overwhelmed with joy.
Seeing the three children happy, Anning had someone fetch paper and pen to write down their names, allowing them to recognize and know how to write their own names in the future.
