In fact, there are up to 100,000 Chinese characters in the biggest Chinese dictionary. However, not every character can be used as the material of the Chinese name. Many characters don’t make sense for Chinese speakers because many of them are not frequently used or they are old school term. What’s more, some characters have multiple meanings, so language knowledge is somehow necessary for Chinese naming. It is a literary art for creating and finding a Chinese name.
Getting a good Chinese name includes the proper composition of characters, well and reasonable meaning, fluent pronunciation and modern-used terms (try thinking some weird English name that some Asian people use). Our service will satisfy your “demand of personalizing” as best as possible and achieve the conditions above at the same time.
The good example of bad cases
Please don’t use free Chinese name tools or generator’s random picks or inaccurate computer translation. It’s too risky to use free sources that you even don’t know the true meaning and what the Chinese actually feels. Here are some bad name cases that Chinese speakers would laugh in mind :
The guy got an ID card with Chinese name “激烈的海膽”, which in English means “Intense sea urchin”. It’s true, you can google it. That is absolutely not a real Chinese name.
“Hi, My name is Very Good! “.
“Oh hi, Mr. Very Good. Nice to meet you!”
It would be a fine name if there is no such Chinese guy named “雷鋒”. “活” is a rare Chinese family name, meaning life. “雷” means “thunder” and “鋒” means “sharp “. However, “雷鋒” is a China warrior who is dead. As a model of good behavior in his military career, his name became a praise for people who is doing good and keeping a low profile after he lost his life by accident. So “活雷鋒” is actually an adjective and conversational term to praise people “a living hero of doing good without people knowing!” Therefore, a good name is not only just using good characters but looking upon overall meaning in society perception and culture.
The guy’s Chinese name actually means “Chocolate”. That would be a discriminated term for people who gave this name to him.
