  • Rant: Don't Butcher Chinese Names Please

Xiao_yue yes, ye is the surname. I'm personally not a fan of ai ning but it's not too bad.
jiang liu makes me think of a flowing river so it's kind of weird but okay

    Can you check these names please?
    Su Song
    Su Ouyang
    Tang Li
    Tang Huan

      Gloomy4_669 su song sounds kinda stupid
      ouyang is generally a surname so you're having two surnames in a row
      tang li is okay
      tang huan is not as good as tang li but decent

        In Brazil, strange names appear, such as Isadora pinto de Jesus, which can be understood Isa likes Jesus' penis, so when I see a weird name in Chinese I do not think it strange
        Kkkk
        It has name that is literally the date of birth
        Man with female name
        Name that only has last name
        Kkkkk

          yaoyueyi ngl i read tang huan as 汤换... reminds me of the idiom 换汤不换药. Might just be me with my bad Chinese tho lmao

            icyhail haha I thought it sounded awkward too but it was considerably better than some of the other names they had so... :')

              yaoyueyi do you mind suggesting a name suited for girl that means aloof or something near it?

                yaoyueyi At these times, I'm glad my mother put me through at least a bit of chinese when I was younger....
                lol, huzi. Who did that?

                  yaoyueyi Hi, can you help me with my character's name? I'm born Chinese, first language is Chinese, but my language skills are just plain terrible. I don't have much confidence in naming.

                  The MCs:
                  Yuan Ji
                  湲/園
                  (Hope)冀

                  Yang YueChen
                  (To raise/hoist/flutter) 揚
                  (Music/cheerful and Earth/Dust) 樂塵

                  Other names:
                  Zhi He 紙鶴
                  Yao Feng
                  Gui Zheng 鬼整

                  And if you could, please translate this:
                  Paper Crane Fleeting Amidst The Storm.

                  Many thanks!

                    X_I_O not a fan of gui zheng. idk what zhi he is for but that's not a proper name most likely... don't name your kids paper crane lmao
                    also you're using traditional chinese here. I only know simplified so can't help you much there.

                      NihilisticBeauty well, I don't study last names so I don't know their meanings. I generally know more over first names. all I know about that xu is that it's one of the most common last names, so yep.
