MeiTian Posted October 22, 2010 at 06:12 AM Report Posted October 22, 2010 at 06:12 AM Hello, I'm an American girl and I want to have proper chinese names, both for me and my sister due to the fact that we visited China a while back and fell in love with the country. We really like the character 霏 and we'd like our names to have profound meanings. Can anyone please help me? Thanks in advance. Quote
Mulan1 Posted October 27, 2010 at 07:08 AM Report Posted October 27, 2010 at 07:08 AM Hi, 霏 (fēi / fei) means „falling rain“ or „falling snow" as well as „fog“ Quote
Hofmann Posted October 27, 2010 at 12:08 PM Report Posted October 27, 2010 at 12:08 PM Well, what would you like help with? No doubt you already know what 霏 means. I think it's a nice name. Quote
jasoninchina Posted October 27, 2010 at 12:57 PM Report Posted October 27, 2010 at 12:57 PM As I see it you have three general options: 1: It is common to repeat the character twice. 霏霏 2. You can put together a random(or not so random) smattering of Characters that you like. 3. Consult books which can give you preferable choices. Quote
jbradfor Posted October 27, 2010 at 09:30 PM Report Posted October 27, 2010 at 09:30 PM As I assume you are aware, it is common in China for siblings to have the same first character of their given name, and a different second character. I assume you want to do that, and have both you and your sister have 霏 as the first character, and you're asking for suggestions for the second character? Quote
