Help with Hokkien baby name

[Florence]

Hi, I need urgent help with translation for my baby. His Mandarin name is Jun Wei, Jun as in handsome and Wei as in great, "Wei Da". Can anyone kindly help with the Hokkien translation. Thank you.

I would say Zun Wee. I liked in Amoy (Xiamen) for about 8 years and my wife is a Kulangsu local. You may also want to post your question in the link below for a more accurate answer,

In Church Romanization:

俊偉 Chun Ui

In a modified pinyin orthography it would be: Zun Wi

"Chun Wee" also works, and that's how it would be romanized in Southeast Asia. There is no set romanization scheme for names, so it's up to the baby's parents to decide.

In Hokkien, it is pronounced like "zun4 wi4" (4 being the fourth tone in Mandarin).

Thank you everybody. I will also try the Hokkien forum before deciding

My wife is due in early Dec, can anyone help me with Hokkien romanization of Chinese name 若渝? Thanks.

Hi,

Does anyone know if there is a hokkien romanisation of the word 勋 (xun)? Tried checking dictionary and asking the Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan but no success. The experience with Singapore Hokkien Huay Kuan has been quite disappointing. They don't seem to have any interest in Hokkien and might as well drop the word "Hokkien" from their name.

The Hokkien romanisation for 勋 should be "hun"
