The meaning of her name WU SHILEI
WU: surname or a state in the Zhou Dynasty
SHI: carry out, exert, apply
LEI: bud (like before a flower)
MAKAYLA: Who is like God. The first three letters stand for Melissa, Alex, Kassandra. It is the female form of Michael (her Daddy's name) and ends in "A" just like her Mommy and sisters names do. Her name couldn't be more PERFECT!
