I love Twelfth Night! I'm actually acting in it right now :). Olivia is a nice choice, but the middle name is a little odd.
In Asian cultures, it was very common to name a child "daughter" and then their birth order. My grandmother's name is "Third daughter."

Interesting as Jung Chang goes on to say that her grandmother had a better start than her mother as she was given a name Yu-Fang. While that may be the author’s opinion it would have been nice if she had explained that her great grandmother’s name was culturally common.

That is true. It would have given more context. My mom was given an actual name and she is much more happy and successful. Although, funny enough, my mom is also the third daughter 😂.
