Grandpa's Name Suggestion

My dad, who I now call garandpa, sent me the following email. When I
first read it I thought "What?!" But then he clarified and then he sent a follow-up email. Read the emails below.


Email 1:
-------------------
Theo Wan-Tzai Cheng, or more americanized Ceo Onetri Cheng
also ask Chinese expert to explain Wan & Tzai
(do be serious on this name)
Happy grandpa
-------------------

Explanation: I told my family that the name had to sound appropriate if he were to become a CEO. So that's the inside joke. After reading the "do be serious" part I got a little worried because although it was a clever name I didn't feel it was appropriate to make my son a living advertisement for my company.

Email 2:
-------------------
Sorry, made a mistake
(DON'T be serious about this name)
Baba
-------------------
It was a relief to get this second email because I wasn't too fond of "Theo" either ;)
