  • Rant: Don't Butcher Chinese Names Please

Directory of Names

yaoyueyi General Female Names

yaoyueyi Manly Male Names

yaoyueyi Surnames

You all can tell me what other categories/lists you want me to make and I'll make more lists?

        noelizer I was trying to give a diverse number of names from the 百家姓排名 since I wanted to give a resource that people might've missed if they were on an english website. it's not a complete list, and it definitely doesn't have all the surnames on it (especially the super common ones because I only gave the top ten), but I will add onto it in the future since there are so many surnames that I've missed.

            Hi, can you tell me if I made a mistake in my names please?

            Xiao Yu (young boy - MC) (ma recherche xiao = petit/ Yu = poisson)
            Mei Ling (young girl)
            Shen Ming (young boy)
            Mu Yong (old and powerful expert)

            I took a long time to choose them, except shen ming
            Thank you for your time,

            If people passing by have time to advice my 4 chapters:

              Lelouch91 oof I don't speak french so I had to google translate lmao
              but xiao yu is average. reminds me of this tv show I used to watch as a kid.
              mei ling is stereotypical name but it works.
              shen ming sounds so so
              mu yong is my favorite.

              they're all fine!

                what about Zai Yunhai?
                It should mean "In the sea of clouds (my wish)" or "At cloud sea".

                  DaddyFishGotBigPp when I said that zai was a surname, I meant this 宰, which means to govern, not the zai you're thinking about (在).
                  besides, it makes about zero sense if your surname adds onto the meaning of your first name like that. people don't pick their surnames, and if they wanted to match their name to make a pun/meaning, it would be kinda lame.
                  yunhai's a decent name though.

                      DaddyFishGotBigPp oh dear ofc
                      but you know there's another last name that's also xiao and it's much more common than the xiao used for small? it's 萧. so you can prevent these dwarves from taking over? :joy:

                          yaoyueyi Foolish human, do you really think you can stop our domination? Earth will soon fall into the hands our digging folk, and the dig-dig songs shall spread thought these lands.

                              Um, I wanna ask help regarding naming a character, if you guys don't mind. More specifically, I need a male name which denotes 'always being on time'. It's going to be used for a character in a novel with a futuristic SciFi theme, so I need something appropriate🙂 Thanks in advance guys.

                                If its not Chinese, I can help with English names. If you can't find a good name for English ones, just take the latin root words you need and rearrange them to make a new name. It'll either look weird or unique. Otherwise, there's sites online that give name meanings like my personal favorite-https://www.behindthename.com/
