The mascots of Beijing 2008 are the five Fuwa. (formerly Friendlies, Chinese: 福娃; Pinyin: Fúwá; literally "Good-luck dolls") Their names are: ''Beibei, Jingjing, Huanhuan, Yingying,'' and ''Nini''. Each of the five names is designed to look like a plausible name for a small child, but when put together, they sound nearly identical to the phrase "北京欢迎你 Běijīng huānyíng nǐ" which means "''Beijing welcomes you''".
