New Members Lyzzielynn Posted September 1, 2010 at 04:50 AM New Members Report Posted September 1, 2010 at 04:50 AM I'm thinking about getting a chinese name for my chinese class, and my teacher gave me two characters, feng, which means the phoenix and something else which means water. But after scrambling around some sites for a while I realised that feng is a very old-fashioned name and I don't really like the name with the word water. Personal reasons, actually. So, I need some help. Can anyone suggest some good chinese name for me? Thanks! Quote
CrisPal Posted September 1, 2010 at 07:43 AM Report Posted September 1, 2010 at 07:43 AM But what is your English name? Quote
doraemon Posted September 1, 2010 at 08:33 AM Report Posted September 1, 2010 at 08:33 AM There are honestly too many to pick from. Do you prefer two character names or three character ones (including surnames)? From your username Lyzzielynn, I think your Chinese name could be something like 林丽姿, which would be a girl's name (means something like 'beautiful appearance'). Quote
Clarie Posted September 1, 2010 at 08:37 AM Report Posted September 1, 2010 at 08:37 AM Hey, thanks for all replies! @Crispal Actually, when I said Chinese name, I meant, like, really CHINESE name. Not something that sounds like my english name. Heheh. @ Doraemon Well, My chinese sirname is Du, as in, 杜. (I'm half chinese ) Could you help me think of something that went great with 诗? I typically love that character! Quote

Clarie Posted September 1, 2010 at 08:48 AM Report Posted September 1, 2010 at 08:48 AM And, I'm LYZZIELYNN. Haha. Something went wrong with my account and the website wouldn't let me logged in, so I had to make a new one! Sorry if this is a bit confusing! Quote
ma3zi1 Posted September 1, 2010 at 02:40 PM Report Posted September 1, 2010 at 02:40 PM How about... 杜詩如 杜詩怡 (<- maybe not this one, sounds like 失宜 "inappropriate/improper")[edit] 杜詩家 杜詩孜 杜思詩 杜之詩 杜知詩 杜紈詩 ...any of those appeal to you? Quote
doraemon Posted September 1, 2010 at 07:45 PM Report Posted September 1, 2010 at 07:45 PM What about 杜亦诗 or 杜依诗？ Quote
Clarie Posted September 1, 2010 at 11:45 PM Report Posted September 1, 2010 at 11:45 PM @ Mazi Thanks! I'm working on figuring what they meant right now! @Doraemon What are the meaning of those names?!? I searched in the dictionary and couldn't find their meanings! I also got some suggestions from a friend, and she said 诗永, 诗烨 and 诗玮. Do you think those are good names? I don't have ANY experience at all in this field! I mean, I was some great, unique and poetic name. But it's really hard to figured it out when you don't speak Chinese! Thanks in advance! Quote
Clarie Posted September 1, 2010 at 11:46 PM Report Posted September 1, 2010 at 11:46 PM P.S. Do you think 诗漩 and 诗霞 sound like names? THey are something I came up with, but as I'm not a native speaker, well...you know what I mean. lol Quote
CrisPal Posted September 2, 2010 at 02:49 AM Report Posted September 2, 2010 at 02:49 AM Girl,诗 is a wonderful charactar in Chinese you love so much.So,how do you think about 杜诗乐（乐／yue4. from "诗，书，礼，乐"）．On the other hand ,杜诗悦 or 杜诗月 goes to the same pronance and gets wonderful sense. Quote
