  • Rant: Don't Butcher Chinese Names Please

yaoyueyi Oh a story on here that I discovered through a review swap and am following. :P Not sure if it's your cup of tea, but I'll recommend it anyway~ The title recently got changed from When did I get married?! --> here

      Only reason why I mention it is because you said you liked the name, so I wondered what the meaning of Yi Lan is and if this character followed that.

        Chryiss oh oof I just looked at the synopsis & a character of an unpublished work of mine is named yi meng T_T

          Suggestion: Maybe use famous Chinese names except change around the surnames.

            BlueRhapsody There’s a Bing Bing in a different story as well c: I think using celebrity names but changing the surname doesn’t do much Bc most people can tell when you’re trying to use a celebrity name, but maybe using 1-2 of the characters would work 🤷‍♀️

                Is it alright to name a person as pine tree? Like qing song?

                  Hi! Sorry for bothering you again, but what do you think of the name Ye Chen Yuan and what does it translate to? I'm hoping it fits for the character I'm writing. Thank you so so much again!

                    Hi! I'm here again for question 😂 May I use Li Hua, Gu Jichen and Tan Luo as male names? 😊

                      BerriApplepi li hua is a female name??
                      I can't say that gu jichen is my favorite. there's something about it that's offputting... it's so-so I guess
                      tan luo is just like jichen.... so-so

                          chonnie that's not bad.
                          I don't know what it translates to. you see here, numerous chinese characters share the same pinyin form. just 'ye' itself could be 叶 (leaf), 夜 (night), or 葉 (leaf 2)
