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 of田螺 aka river snail. minyue makes me think of 民乐 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
I'm bad with chinese names. Could anyone give me a really manly name? I'm trying to make an unfortunate female Chinese character who got a guy name cause her parents really wanted a son. >3</
Xincerely well... jinkai is just like one of those names that you know it's chinese but it doesn't look like chinese?? i don't know how to explain it but it almost looks japanese?? :joy: but if I were to think of the chinese character equivalents, I would think open gold and that sounds kinda weird. but I guess it's not the worst thing. though it's still pretty strange. so that's why I have so much mixed feelings about jinkai haha.
a list of super manly names...
for when your female characters are named after men...
or when you want a manly name for your male character.
both work.
辉轩 Huixuan: splendid, glorious, whatnot.
高远 Gaoyuan: high achievements for the future. your kid will end up super successful and brilliant.
弘琪 Hongqi: great jade. because jade is great, so your kids should be named after it. flawless, elegant, and perfect.
世元 Shiyuan: you're completing the earth here.
圣君 Shengjun: holy man. super cool.
仁杰 Renjie. humane and heroic. getting in all your "h" adjectives here.
展天 Zhantian: extending across the skies.
博云 Boyun: rich and clouds. now, clouds may not sound great, but it actually means that your kid is way up high above the top, so they're literally up high in the clouds and viewing the world from there. aka success.
浩强 Haoqiang: great and strong.
君旭 Junxu: like the sun, just an amazing kid.
云龙 Yunlong: literally the most basic name you'll ever find. clouds and dragons. both great stuff.
世明 Shiming: he who understands the world
福来 Fulai: fortune come to me
昊磊 Haolei: vast and almighty.
远胜 Yuansheng: winning others by 1092481082%
风涛 Fengtao: great waves of wind.
哲诚 Zhecheng: wise and honest.

Odd thing to rant about to me, idc how it sounds in Chinese aslong as it doesn't look stupid to English readers who don't know Chinese.

Mute yeah, but it's more of like a thing that if you write about something/some culture, you should at least do some research to represent it correctly. it's a sign of ignorance to be like "oh that sounds like chinese yipee". & proper naming is also a way of preventing stereotypes from being formed.
Author_Shizu nope, I don't have a discord, but we can talk here if you want.
would you like me to go over each wrong name and offer an alternative?
BerriApplepi never liked guiren. jiayi doesn't sound like a masculine name. nianzu is kinda weird.
keer is suuuper weird. otherwise, they're pretty good!!
yaoyueyi Then I guess I have to use Jiayi as a girl's name instead hahaha Thank you for this, I'm really grateful that there's a thread like this that can help with the Chinese naming 
BerriApplepi no problem :D
