ccaraway Posted August 19, 2008 at 06:54 PM Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 at 06:54 PM Hi, I've been searching for an alternative Chinese name from the one my Chinese teacher gave me (巴可儿). Is 林爱莉 a name I can use in China without getting laughed at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buranxi Posted August 19, 2008 at 09:47 PM Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 at 09:47 PM 林means woods, a surname too. 爱=love, and 莉is come from 茉莉, =Jasmine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanyu'sWay Posted August 19, 2008 at 09:48 PM Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 at 09:48 PM It sounds quite good and common if you are female. If you are male I promise I would not laugh out too loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted August 19, 2008 at 11:03 PM Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 at 11:03 PM It is ok, and very common. Looks like dalizee has a much better Chinese teacher who has given her a beautiful Chinese name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yonglin Posted August 19, 2008 at 11:58 PM Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 at 11:58 PM Ditto. 巴可儿 is truly horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
