Liu Sanwa's home sat on a cliff platform halfway up the slope at the valley mouth, backed by a ravine and isolated from any neighbors. Inside, there was just one old earthen house where he lived with his wife, Ma Geda. The couple had spent most of their lives childless, their existence quiet and solitary. One day, Liu Sanwa entered the house carrying a child on his back and cried out urgently, “Geda, Heaven has given us a child!” Ma Geda, who was cooking in the kitchen, hurried forward to take the girl from him. She sat down and examined the child closely. It didn't take long for her to understand the situation. She said softly, “This child was abandoned in the mountains…” Liu Sanwa quickly covered his wife's mouth, his eyes widening as he signaled her to keep quiet. Unexpectedly, the girl spoke up, saying, “It is…” Ma Geda, usually as silent as a log of wood, couldn't help but shed tears. She choked up and said, “Child, don't be afraid. We'll get you treated.” The girl looked at them and said, “Dad! My name is Duoduo!”
The elderly couple didn't know how to write the beautiful character for 'duo' (flower) in her name, but they recognized the character for 'duo' (many). From that day on, the girl was named Ma Duoduo!
刘三娃的家位于谷口半坡的一处崖台上，背靠着崖面的沟壑，四周寂静无邻。屋里只有一间老旧的土房，住着他和老伴马疙瘩。夫妻俩大半辈子都无儿无女，生活平淡而孤寂。这天，刘三娃背着一个孩子进了屋，急切地喊道：“疙瘩，老天爷给咱一个娃！”正在灶台前做饭的马疙瘩连忙上前接过女孩，坐下细细端详。她很快就明白了情况，轻声说道：“这娃是被人抛进山来的……”刘三娃赶紧捂住老伴的嘴，瞪大了眼睛，示意不要声张。没想到，那个女孩却开口说话了：“就是……”像块木头一样沉默寡言的马疙瘩见状，也不禁流下了眼泪，哽咽着说：“娃，不怕，咱治病！”女孩眨巴着眼睛说：“爹！我叫朵朵！”
这对老夫妻虽然不识那美丽的“朵”字，只知道有个“多”字。从此，这个女孩便有了一个新名字——马多多！
