Help with a Chinese name please

[Rhubarb]

I want to 'translate' Anton / Tony with these two characters : 安暾

暾 is '刚出来的太阳', so 安暾 would be a 'peaceful sunrise', would that be ok for a Chinese name?

[muyongshi]

Yeah that works fine...they are both used in names... got it good on the first try...

Actually, the character you choose is not very commonly used in Chinese names. It's a rarely used character that for many Chinese, including me, it's totally a stranger.

So, in this case, it'd be better to translate it into "安顿". It would be more natural.

I've seen it used a few times and while it may not be "Commonly" used I say since it is used (and so inherently there is no usage problem) to go with it as it is a lot nicer than 顿 (in one man's opinion)

安彤tong2

彤for red

[semantic nuance]

Or 安藤 / 安騰

[Rhubarb]

Or 安藤 / 安騰

安彤tong2

彤for red

'tong' and 'teng' sounds are definitely out of the question, but thank you! for your suggestions

I'm so pleased I came up with a better transliteration than what native speakers suggested so far .

安暾(an1tun1) is a strange name.It has a beautiful meaning,but sounds little strange.

And 暾 is not a commonly used character.

彤 is often uesd to describe the color of first sun rays in the morning.

And 腾 means running quickly or flying-off.

I think they are all good choices.

Anton is usually translated into 安东.Tony is usually translated into 托尼. There is no

need to make the characters have selfsame pronunciation from the english words.

Anyway 安暾 is also can be used if you like.
