What is her mongol name?--Kaiyr (talk) 19:06, 19 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

It appears that she simply does not have a Mongol name, and that her name itself is a sinicized form that incorporates a sound from her father's Mongol name - taking the first character of the transliterated Chinese name as her surname. It is not clear to me whether or not Bu Xiaolin actually considers "Bu" her surname or it is actually a single name - Buxiaolin. In any case, not sure it matters, as the Tumed Mongols, from where she hails, hardly speak Mongolian anyway and is basically indistinguishable from Han Chinese in values and behavior.
