Mengyuan [1] is the business name of K L Ellis & K H Khoo in Australia. Originally when setting up their first business, a bed & breakfast, they wanted to call it 'Field of Dreams' because of the beautiful property they purchased and on which they built the 'Mengyuan Bed & Breakfast' house. Unfortunately, they discovered that the business name of 'Field of Dreams' had already been taken in Australia by a chain of pizza stores, despite there being no such stores in Australia. Kay-Hock, being of Chinese Malaysian decent, translated 'Field of Dreams' into Mandarin, hence 'Meng Yuan' became 'Mengyuan' (field of dreams or beautiful garden). They named their first business 'Mengyuan Bed & Breakfast' [2], and subsequently their other businesses 'Mengyuan Organic Olive Products' [3], 'Mengyuan Massage Clinic' [4], 'Mengyuan Computing' [5], etc. When they did all this back in 1996, a Google search of the web for 'Mengyuan' barely returned a hit. Today, a web search will return hundreds. Presumably others have found the name as enchanting as they did back in 1996 and still do today.
