Rant: Don't Butcher Chinese Names Please
yaoyueyi At these times, I'm glad my mother put me through at least a bit of chinese when I was younger....
lol, huzi. Who did that?
Panqiuyan My mom named me xu jiayun... jiayun as in added luck, more luck, that sh*t. What does xu mean?
NihilisticBeauty isn't xu your last name??
yaoyueyi Hi, can you help me with my character's name? I'm born Chinese, first language is Chinese, but my language skills are just plain terrible. I don't have much confidence in naming.
The MCs:
Yuan Ji
湲/園
(Hope)冀
Yang YueChen
(To raise/hoist/flutter) 揚
(Music/cheerful and Earth/Dust) 樂塵
Other names:
Zhi He 紙鶴
Yao Feng
Gui Zheng 鬼整
And if you could, please translate this:
Paper Crane Fleeting Amidst The Storm.
Many thanks!

Paper_Crane not a fan of gui zheng. idk what zhi he is for but that's not a proper name most likely... don't name your kids paper crane lmao
also you're using traditional chinese here. I only know simplified so can't help you much there.
yaoyueyi Last names have meanings too.
xu as in
徐
NihilisticBeauty well, I don't study last names so I don't know their meanings. I generally know more over first names. all I know about that xu is that it's one of the most common last names, so yep.
Ahhhhh. Thank you for writing this! Have you seen The Other Side of A Cultivation Novel? 
The main character’s name is Shu QAI. And he gets called Qai.... that’s not even a word/character. I left a rant about it on chapter 3 it’s the most upvoted lol.
RoachTheRoach do they mean cai? does that make his name... vegetable?? :0

Specifically, for a female child whose's a glutton.
