Please help me describe my name


Recommended Posts

Posted

So my Chinese name is 麥愷蓉 (麦恺蓉) and after I say it, when people ask me which characters those are, I don't know what to say. As in, ___ 的愷, ___ 的蓉 or something like that. Can someone more experienced than I am help me out? Thank you!

蓉 seems easy enough, 芙蓉的~ ; it's also the single-character used as shorthand for Chengdu.

愷 the only one I know is Julius Caesar 恺撒 and that's often written 凯撒, so you might have to add "竖心旁". Can't think of any pop stars or something more contemporary. Sticking the character in Google throws up some possibilities but not heard of any of them myself. Perhaps a young person with a social life will be along shortly to suggest someone appropriate :D

麦——麦当劳 or 麦当娜的麦

恺——you can say:凯旋的凯改成竖心旁. i am sure that mention 竖心旁 will help Chinese peple understand which "kai3" in your name.

蓉——

Jim 蓉 seems easy enough, 芙蓉的~
芙蓉 is the best way to expain 蓉. And you can add 草字头的蓉 to make it more clear. :wink:
