Hu Zi is actually a nickname. The zi is not part of them names.

i get super annoyed by how they butcher chinese names or flip it around too. its frustrating to read and irksome.

not to mention that most of these translations are done by americans who have no clue what they are translating.

for example, "mei zi" is often translated to "sister". you see this in many novels that has a female lead and in more modern novels today but it's real meaning is not sister, but girlfriend/wife.

in Pet Life, Zi An's name should be two words because it's a chinese names, but it's translated as Zian. as if it is an english name which is irritating.
it's sad because his name was even given meaning and explained in the first few chapters, yet horribly butchered into "Zian", with only the Z capitalized to tell readers that it's one "word/name"

in later chapters, the mermaid cannot pronouce his name correctly and this cements the name "Zian" because they think that it's a weird name, when it's actually a very common name

gege is usually used by children.
it is only children who will use the proper "gege,didi,jiejie,meimei."

xiaowei and weiwei are nicknames, so it is fine. no need to add mei or jie to these and only close friends or family use these

guren is fine. its really depends on the characters used but if you are typing in english, theres no need to bother.

also if you want to seperate the names, you should do it for all the names, or just write it like how you did.

wu ting for example is seperated, but gurem.jian,jiayi is not.
there are no words in chinese/korean with two "sounds", so they are all seperate and to be accurate, you should put a spacing between them
jian = i read it as ji an, not jian. it can also be jian but few people are called surname+jian, because jian can mean sword, or an insult like "cheap/shameless" so nobody will call their children that

Wú Yú (吴愚) will Always be the best name, no matter what. :>

SnoozySloth sorry, I think I skipped over this post when I was replying to others. :grimacing: hope it's not too late. Fang Hao sounds fine. Fang should be the last name. Surnames come first in Chinese.
How about 崇凛/Chonglin for the grandfather? Chong = honor and Lin = stern
子龙/Zilong is a pretty classic name with the Long character in it. The meaning is similar to son of dragon.
