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              Chryiss oh oof I just looked at the synopsis & a character of an unpublished work of mine is named yi meng T_T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

                BlueRhapsody There’s a Bing Bing in a different story as well c: I think using celebrity names but changing the surname doesn’t do much Bc most people can tell when you’re trying to use a celebrity name, but maybe using 1-2 of the characters would work 🤷‍♀️
