I think it's her mothers's name (she passed away few years back) but was after confirmation!! She doesn't really like it, was a spur of the moment grief stricken thing, but is now wondering if it even says what should do!

It's a well known Chinese saying, roughly it translates as

"Would you believe I paid £20 for this"

I can get you an answer on Monday if you don't find out before!

It is pretty much impossible to just translate English Names into Chinese - they usually just try and make the sounds work, but they mean something completely different.
