"Hsiao Bi-khim" looks like a Taiwanese name, no? [Wade-Giles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wade%E2%80%93Giles) **Hsiao** is just Pinyin **xiāo**,  [**Bi**](https://xiaoxue.iis.sinica.edu.tw/minyu?kaiOrder=1411) and [**khim**](https://xiaoxue.iis.sinica.edu.tw/minyu?kaiOrder=2700) both look like [Min](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Min_Chinese) pronunciations.

Bi-khim is the romanization of the Taiwanese pronunciation of 美琴。Obviously 萧美琴's parents decided to use Taiwanese, not Mandarin, to transliterate their daughter's name.
