Anything connected to China starting with these sounds?

We have just got 3 chinese hamsters and 1 is yet to be named!

The names so far are China and Xian. We've noticed the 1st syllables of each are Greek letters so to keep to that theme, can anyone think of anything connected to China starting with any of the following sounds:

Moo

Noo

Pie

Roe

Phi

Tau (rhyming with cow)

Thanks for any help!

    Tao (rhymes with cow) is a Chinese surname. It would be written as: 陶

    As a verb, tao (逃) means "to run away, to flee, or to escape." This would be an appropriate name if your hamster proves to be an escape artist.

    This version of tao 套 is the character used for the Greek letter tau!

    Moo------That's "cow" for "Get me the hell out of China!"

    Noo------As in "Nooooooooo, I don't want to buy anything made in China!"

    Pie------Something the cow left behind when it realized it lived in China

    Roe------As in "roe roe roe your boat as far from China as possible"

    Phi------llipines! And step on it! -said the guy trapped in China

    Tau (rhyming with cow)------Hand me that tau, I need to wipe all this lead off after handling those Chinese baby toys."

    BTW, Lucinda. There's a song named after you:

    For your Nu, how about 女王(Nǚwáng in pinyin). It means queen
