冯昭宁

so i decided to look up my names to try and figure out what it means, since i lost the paper that told me. sorry laoshi! heres what i found:

冯 feng2
radical: ice, combined with horse, to mean something like speed or galloping. it was listed as the 31st most common surname in china in 2006

照 zhao4
we learned this in our book as "to shine" but chinesepera-kun has several variations,including: "in accordance to", "to shine", ”to illuminate", and "to reflect"

宁 ning2
chinesepera-kun: "peaceful" and "rather". i doubt laoshi meant "rather" so i took it to be "peaceful".

putting it all together, shining peace, illuminating peace(fulness), reflecting peace. interesting. i guess ill ask him tomorrow which one it is. :)
