Fun With Google Translate

We chose Wynn as an American name because it was related to Ariana's name and because it sounded much like 文 (Wén ).  Today, she showed us that if you translate Wynn to Chinese, Google renders it Yǒng  Lì  (永利).   The characters for  Yǒng  Lì  mean "Forever Favorable."  (Copy and paste 永利, and Google translate will give you "Wynn."  If you copy just 永, you get "forever," and 利 gives you "favorable.")
She says she likes Yǒng  Lì  better than  Pán Wén.  LOL.
