  • Rant: Don't Butcher Chinese Names Please

Chryiss haha yeah, a lot of chinese names tend to be very poetic and everything. though for the masculine list, I kinda gave up on explaining half of them so there's a very sarcastic tone throughout the entire thing. :')

      yaoyueyi Ah if you don't mind me asking, but did you delete the surname options from the females list? XD I remembered seeing a section dedicated to surnames on post 69, but I couldn't find it now T_T

          Xincerely oh yeah I did! I'm sorry. I was thinking of making it its own separate list if people needed it. do you need it?

              How about xiao tianyou... what the meaning of it name ?

                climbers honestly, it depends on what characters you're going for. it can be 天佑 helping the skies, 天友 getting friends, 添油 adding oil... etc. etc. all of them spell out as tianyou, but they all have very different meanings.

                    climbers that would be tianyao, not tianyou. it would make it a feminine name that meant precious jade of the skies.

                        yaoyueyi Ah it's totally fine, no need to apologize! Was just curious about what happened to it cx

                        But I wouldn't mind mind for it's own separate list, thank you so much :heart:
