MeiTian Posted October 22, 2010 at 06:12 AM Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mulan1 Posted October 27, 2010 at 07:08 AM Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 at 07:08 AM Hi, 霏 (fēi / fei) means „falling rain“ or „falling snow" as well as „fog“ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hofmann Posted October 27, 2010 at 12:08 PM Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasoninchina Posted October 27, 2010 at 12:57 PM Report Share 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.

jbradfor Posted October 27, 2010 at 09:30 PM Report Share 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?
