  • Rant: Don't Butcher Chinese Names Please

Great Expert, can you check this one for This Fish?
Wind Great Night; Feng Daye/Feng Da Ye.

The literal translation "Wind Big Night" seems kinda bad in This Fish opinion.

    Eh, This Fish thought the same, it sounds kinda bad.
    Still, Could you suggest some names for a Wind User?
    Any gender works, I can make it do somehow.

      Hi! I'm here again to ask for your advice ๐Ÿ˜Š

      Is the name Lu Qiang okay? Or should I go with Lu Qian? ๐Ÿ˜Š

        So um, these are mine. I hope some of them work so I don't have to change much in my novel but nothing's ever perfect. Also, can you suggest me a name for a guy who uses super strong ice abilities? Just like his temperament; he is cold, ruthless, and definitely heartless. But not the main character of course. Sorry for taking your time.
        Bai Li [MC-]
        Da Yuan
        Fan Tong
        Jia Yan
        Ju Dun
        Khu Bei
        Mo Tian
        Shi Qigang
        Wei Tao
        Yue Su
        Yue Yong
        Zhao Fei
        Zhao Kufei

          yaoyueyi
          This Fish thinks he can make it do.
          Also, are these good?
          Wind Little Night (Feng Xiaoye)
          Jade Little Wind (Yu Xiao Feng)
          Don't mind the Xiao's, they just sound nice and This Fish can't think of anything to replace them.

            BeyondBreaking

            okay: bai li, da yuan, fan tong, jia yan, mo tian, shi qigang, wei tao, yue su, zhao fei, yue yong
            not okay: ju dun, khu bei, zhao kufei

            suggestion: Mo Bingxi ๆ…•ๅ†ฐ็†™ or Leng Chenyu ๅ†ทๅฐ˜ๅฎ‡

              DaddyFishGotBigPp xiao just makes me think of a kid. people generally don't use them in names unless they're nicknames because people can outgrow them. unless you're talking about really short people... that might work.

                My story is set in modern day Chengdu. Hence,most of the characters are Chinese. Their names are: Gu Ren(male) ,Wang Xiu(female), Zhang Wei(male), Liu Ren(male), Li Wei(male).Please tell me whether these names make sense as all mandarin I know is by watching CN dramas. A little help will be appreciated,

                  I'm sorry to bother again, but I was wondering what you would think of these names? And if you don't mind, which one seems to be the best out of these? Thank you so much in advance :heart:

                  Potential names for a male lead in a new book:
                  Yang Yuhan
                  Lu Yuehao
                  Wang Tianmin
                  Hu Tianluo
                  Wang Lutian
                  Zheng Minyue

                  Already a name for male lead in my current book, but still curious about it lol:
                  Wen Jinkai

                    Xincerely no to tianmin and tianluo. tianluo makes me think of็”ฐ่žบ aka river snail. minyue makes me think of ๆฐ‘ไน aka folk music so no to that either. it also looks really feminine.

                    out of that list, my favorite is yuhan. solds like cold jade which is really poetic.

                    jinkai... I don't know how I feel about that honestly LMAO
