Very nice name, but If you are a girl, I suggest 乐恋菲. It's the same pronunciation as 乐恋飞, but 飞 is more often used in male name and 菲 is almost special for female.

I had a teacher with the same surname. It should be read as le4. lian4 means love, and fei1 means fly or a chinese hero named 'yuefei'.:mrgreen:

The surname, when it is used as a surname, can be read as either le4 or yue4, depending on the individual / family.

My spanish name is Arturo, so, somebody called me here 阿杜洛 A1du4luo4

I feel fine with it xD what do you think? somebody told me 阿杜 is kinda chinese singer here...

Somebody is right, A-du is a Chinese singer.

阿杜洛 can be used as a name, it doesn't mean anything bad or derogatory, and sounds name-like enough, especially with that 阿 in front. On the other hand, it is only a transliteration of your Spanish name, and doesn't look like a real Chinese name.

I'm not real chinese though :lol:

Glad to read transliteration of my name is good enough to match-something-like-chinese :)

thanks Lu

Based on my real name's sounds, I've been suggested the name 裴平达 (pei2 ping2da2).

I kinda like it, but since my Chinese language sensibility is close to zero, I'd like to hear some informed opinions.

Thanks in advance.

So, I've been switching names for the past few months. I tried picking my own name for "Matt" but it kept sounding too close to "他妈的". Hahaha. So I've been going by 连麦特 for several months. However, I had first picked the surname 蓝, I think it sounds nice. And I also don't like 麦特 THAT much. It's okay... but I was thinking something like 蓝迈特, or simply 蓝迈.

What do you guys think?

Perhaps you could consider 孟德 (Mengde). It was the name of a famous historical figure 曹操 (Cao Cao), who cleverly did not claim the throne but in fact set up his own dynasty.

I always like those double-word last names also. I like "慕容" and "东方" -- They sounded very exotic. However, I already have a last name, so I can't do it.

"慕容" - Admiring of looks.

"东方" - The direction of East, or Oriental.

"上官" - High officials.

"皇浦" - Royal river-side or Royal river's exit to the ocean.

"欧阳" - "欧" in the old time was associated with execution, like ""欧刀" (the knife for executions). "阳" is like sun or Yang in "Yin and Yang" or maleness. Did it originally mean "the man who execute people" or the executioner? :-?

To answer spitz, your name, 裴平达 (pei2 ping2da2), is pretty good. I like the last name a lot. It's just my personal preference. I think it had a few famous persons in Tang dynasty. 平达 are also good words for name. It means smoothly arrival (to your destination) or smoothly success. They have no strange pronounciations associated with them.

As a chinese, I do not think "慕容", "东方" and so on have extra meanings. Chinese surname has no meaning, but our given name is significative!

But the double-word last names are really very cool!

魏乐平

It is an OK name. If you are a flat-chested woman it could even be a fashion statement. :D
