Q: Suggestions with getting a male Chinese name?
My name is quite long in my language and it has 3 words which mean: "The Respected", "Excellemce/Perfection" and
"Wisdom".
And my Chinese surname is Song (宋)...
I asked a Chinese person to help me out and he came up with "my guess is 尊zun (respected) 美mei （as in 美德 meide - moral excellence， 完美 wanmei - perfection & 慧 hui (wisdom). 宋尊美慧 if you are a lady, that is."
BUT I am a guy!!
I need some help to check his suggestion on whether it's a good name and suggest a 'male version' of this
name.
I need help!!!
first thing get an easy name for your self in speaking and writing as well. sometimes chinese guys wants to you prove you can write or not . if you can not they make a fun of it around. so do not embrace yourself with hard stroked names........ get as much easy as you can. like wang wei, wang yi.............. wang means Kings........ do not compare your name in meaning with chinese. chinese have 5000 words with different sounds, stroke and meaning...........
do not go in complication make it as easy as you can ......... best of luck....... my name is wang yi......... means first king....... it has only 5 strokes in total..hahaha
Mr_spoon:
Mine is a bullshit "adaptation" of my french name. It's horrible and I hear my name butchered every day, so I just renamed myself “阿尔萨斯大王”
if your not chinese.. why would you need a chinese name.. its lame
Mr_spoon:
Yes, because obviously finding a name that's easier for locals to remember and pronounce is completely retarded, right?
EYN05:
ok spooningman...
i bet your one of those guys who has a stupid chinese name and wear kung fu outfits in beijing.
you weirdos make me embarrassed to be a foreigner in china doing that crap.
you have an english name... USE IT! they will respect you more.
don't be such a dick ridder and come up with a stupid chinese name that any respectful chinese wouldn't call you by anyways
EYN05:
its stupid tourist like you who realy embarrass all foreigners..
Do you think china is disney land? come and get a fake chinese name wear a kung fu outfit and bang some girls from the country side?
Your just like caine on "KUNGFU"...
just remember your just a foreigner walking around squinting his eyes but your no damn china man.
have some self respect man!
One of my friends just named himself "Friday", "Zhou Wu". I think its cool because people think its fun, quirky, and easy to remember. I say just pick something fun and quirky that has nothing to do with your original name.
I partly agree with Eyn05... but only partly!
If we have some expectation that Chinese people will have an 'English' name, then it would make sense for us to have a Chinese name.
After all, when Chinese people move to US, UK, Aus, Can, NZ, etc, don't they tend to adopt a local name? And, the same if they move to yet other countries - Fra, Spa, NED, etc etc... you adopt a local name to fit into the culture.
The same should be said for here - no???
However, yes, you do have YOUR name - and you should use your name!
I usually tell people I have both (naturally).. they tend to ask for both, and more often than not, will try to remember my real name rather than my Chinese name.
As for getting a name - remember, there's lots of ways to say the same sort of thing.
Song, as for your name - I'd just drop the Mei... Song ZunHui 宋尊慧.. and start practising your writing!
Try anything with 'dragon' as dragons are respected in China.
I want to name myself "The Way Cool Superfly Bad Mother F--ing Superhero From The West, Jr." but I can't find anyone to translate it.
