gougou Posted September 10, 2010 at 05:31 AM Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 at 05:31 AM I thought 鑫 is a very common given name?It is, we've been talking about it above already. What I meant is, trading chastity for money and all that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gougou Posted September 11, 2010 at 04:54 AM Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 at 04:54 AM Thank you, jbradfor. I was already considering changing my name to something with 败, but apparently that can wait then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xiaocai Posted September 11, 2010 at 10:00 AM Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 at 10:00 AM Hmm, I'm not really sure if 金字旁 in names actually means literally "a lot of money" or not in a chinese sense. My friend, whose 生辰八字 五行缺水 (don't know how to say this in English, sorry), was named 淼淼 by her parents to make it up, not that they wanted her to become a water tycoon or what... I guess this could also be the reason for having names like 鑫铭, 炎焱, 林森, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted September 11, 2010 at 11:07 AM Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 at 11:07 AM Which reminds me of the name of one of Stephen Chow's characters - 鑫淼 in 他來自江湖. Because the name is so complicated (presumably people in the story don't know how to pronounce it), people just call him 金水. I know someone whose name is 雨恆. I've always wondered if he is 五行欠水 or if he was just born during rainy season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
