yaoyueyi I need a name for three people ( I need short and easy to pronounce names like nei li, qin li, mo heng )
Character 1: male
Characteristics: short tempered, hot blooded, loud mouthed,
Name type: something related to blood, or demons, along those lines
Character 2: female
Characteristics: overbearing, violent, dominant, assertive
Name type: something related to rock, Stone, mountain or oxen
Character 3: female
Characteristic: calm,gentle,sweet,kind
Name type: something related to flowers with thorns

    Funny how I just this post and literally just read a novel where the MC name is Ting Wo I couldn’t help but think of it as 听我 which was quite weird 😅

      yaoyueyi

      Thank you for this post. May you check on mine too?

      Ye Ai Ning.

      Surname is Ye. If I remember correct it mean 'leaf' but can it just be a surname? The name is Ai Ning which mean love and person of peace. Now I don't know if I could just mix this two.

      Jiang Liu

      Jiang is the surname which mean 'river'. Now I do know that the name Liu means 'willow' but I wonder if I could use 'precious stone' which is written in a different character as the translation instead. I search around but I saw them using that character on places or things.

        Xiao_yue yes, ye is the surname. I'm personally not a fan of ai ning but it's not too bad.
        jiang liu makes me think of a flowing river so it's kind of weird but okay

          Can you check these names please?
          Su Song
          Su Ouyang
          Tang Li
          Tang Huan

            Gloomy4_669 su song sounds kinda stupid
            ouyang is generally a surname so you're having two surnames in a row
            tang li is okay
            tang huan is not as good as tang li but decent

              In Brazil, strange names appear, such as Isadora pinto de Jesus, which can be understood Isa likes Jesus' penis, so when I see a weird name in Chinese I do not think it strange
              Kkkk
              It has name that is literally the date of birth
              Man with female name
              Name that only has last name
              Kkkkk

                yaoyueyi ngl i read tang huan as 汤换... reminds me of the idiom 换汤不换药. Might just be me with my bad Chinese tho lmao
