Interracial couple baby name?

Hello everybody! we are a interracial race couple (Chinese wife - Malay Husband) . Our baby will be due next year & currently we are thinking of baby names. We would like her to pick up Chinese language, thus would have a Chinese name as well. So we are wondering, how would the name be like ? And how would her birth cert/IC be ? 🤔🤔🤔 Can we put, for example: Jayleen Tan Binte , Alias: Tan Hui En ? Would appreciate if there's any examples for reference ! ✨ #firsttimemom #advicepls

hi! had friends who are mixed! had one with Malay Name - English Name - Surname (eg Haziqah Charlotte Tan), one was Surname - EnglishName - Malay Name (eg Chong Isaac Iskandar), another was Malay Name - Surname - Bin/Binte - Father’s Name (eg Alisyah Quek Binte Rahim Quek) & the longest one was English Name - Malay Name - Chinese Name - Surname - Bin/Binte - Father’s Name - Surname (eg Isla Madinah Zo En Lee Binte Zack Lee! but i remember all of them agreeing that filling up forms especially OTAS sheet back in school was a nightmare 🤣🤣🤣 but for birth cert wise, i think can do something like Jayleen Tan Binte Father’s Name then the next line underneath would be her name in chinese characters without spelling in hanyunpinyin. saw this on some friends too! they even have arabic names!
