  • Rant: Don't Butcher Chinese Names Please

Esther_kim jan is not chinese.
jian lan kinda makes me think of "picking up trash" but... I mean, it's not the worst name out there, i guess. really depends on how you look at it.

Hi! Can you please suggest a female name with 'Red' in it?

I was searching and found Dandan which means 'Cinnabar red'. But I don't think it would be nice to use it as a name for an imperial princess xD I'm planning to use it for a character who will be pertaining to 'Little Red Riding Hood'

If there's none, is it okay if you can suggest me a cute/lovely name for a princess? I hope I'm not asking much ><

    BerriApplepi I really don't have time to be individually rec'ing people names for them only.
    you can look above for the lists of names, and you can ask me to review names, but otherwise, I'm not doing individual suggestions.

      BawMeaw i'm not really good at finding those but I guess i can try to make a list later. not guaranteeing anything though.

        yaoyueyi thank you very much for saying that you'll try. It's ok even if you aren't able to post later.☺

        yaoyueyi Hi, it's me again haha XD

        What do you think of these names for a modern novel?
        Female: Su Meixiu, or Su Meixue (iffy about the latter one bc it sounds like beautiful snow lmao :laughing: ), Su Baibai or Su Lanlan
        Male: Ling Fulei, Wei Shen or Wei Haiyun or Wei Jinhai

        Thank you so much in advance!

          Xincerely I don't really like any of those female names, sorry!
          jinhai is okay. if haiyun is what I think it is, then it's kinda eh. the other two aren't really great either.

            Resplendently pinyin is the 'alphabet' of chinese.
            for example... the name:
            杨雨嘉. it is yáng yǔ jiā. yáng (杨) yǔ (雨) jiā (嘉) would be considered the pinyin form of the characters.
            basically, when typing chinese on a keyboard, a pinyin input keyboard is used to form the characters.
            pinyin is also used for chinese speakers to learn new words.

              Xincerely
              The names Baibai and Lanlan sound really bad unless it's a nickname since (I'm assuming it's 白白 and 蓝蓝) her name literally means White-white or Blue-blue and you wouldn't really name your kid that. You should think about the meanings and keep in mind Chinese parents often name their children with attributes that they want them to have. For example, beautiful (mei 美).
