  • Rant: Don't Butcher Chinese Names Please

chonnie
If you want name suggestions, I suggest that you clarify what kind of meaning you want their name to have.

      chonnie "syao" is probably some american going "how do I say 'xiao'.... oh right syao"... so if you want to have an alternative, xiaoran is a good alternative.
      ughhh ying yue :sob: you have no idea how much I hate that.
      but tian yao is kinda weird.
      li qiang isn't my favorite.
      huang kang is atrocious.
      I don't get why Change is one name when you have everything else in two characters. it should be Tian Chan Ge if you want to follow the other things but change is just a weird name overall bc how it looks in english.

                no to female names: yuxin, meihua (purely bc it's overused but if you wanna use an overused name... I have nothing to say), yingyue, qinghe,
                no to male names: hongyue, yangguang (pls no this one is so bad that I'm going to cry), anguo, shanyi, lin yuan.

                    Can these be male names?

                    Wei Xian He
                    Wei Song Xian
                    Wei Lan Xian
                    Wei Xian Ming

                    Thank you!

                      yaoyueyi oo yeah it does sound like that, i was originally thinking of 海韵 hehe~ Thank you for the help!

                      May I ask what you think of Su Biying then? or Su Yilan?

                      BlueRhapsody I don't know why, but I was thinking of Fan Bingbing and I realized double character names can also work out :joy: thank you for the help~

                            yaoyueyi Oh a story on here that I discovered through a review swap and am following. :P Not sure if it's your cup of tea, but I'll recommend it anyway~ The title recently got changed from When did I get married?! --> here

                                Only reason why I mention it is because you said you liked the name, so I wondered what the meaning of Yi Lan is and if this character followed that.

                                  Chryiss oh oof I just looked at the synopsis & a character of an unpublished work of mine is named yi meng T_T

                                    Suggestion: Maybe use famous Chinese names except change around the surnames.
