New Members LeBella Posted May 24, 2011 at 07:53 AM New Members Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 at 07:53 AM It is the name given to me by my chinese friend. But when I told other people my name, they just look at me funny. So, I'm a little bit worried, since I have no knowledge whatsoever when it comes to this language. Thank you in advance for all your answers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lu Posted May 24, 2011 at 01:41 PM Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 at 01:41 PM I don't think 诗 is a surname, or if it is it's a rather uncommon one. 露 is a very common woman's name (if you're a man, that would explain the weird looks). Not sure if 诗露 as a given name would work, I don't see anything wrong with it. My Chinese name is 施露. Some people on the forums here once said it's not a great name, but in real life I've never had weird looks about it, so I kept it. People say it's 很好听, which is probably just being polite, but ah well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edelweis Posted May 24, 2011 at 04:47 PM Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 at 04:47 PM so, both of you, do you pronounce 露 lu4 or lou4 ? Wrong pronunciation might explain the weird looks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hofmann Posted May 24, 2011 at 07:59 PM Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 at 07:59 PM I find it weird. Perhaps it's because what it refers to is too specific, and 詩 is a high art, but 詩-ing about 露 or the 露 of 詩 is quite perfunctory, therefore making it strange. Sorry about the Chinglish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lu Posted May 24, 2011 at 08:42 PM Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 at 08:42 PM Lu4. Lou4 would be weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Members LeBella Posted May 25, 2011 at 10:44 AM Author New Members Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 at 10:44 AM OH, I see. Thank you! Could you help me think of a good character that would go with Lu? Since I don't want anymore of those glances my way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lu Posted May 26, 2011 at 10:08 AM Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 at 10:08 AM You can have it as a single-character given name, and just pick a surname you like to go with it. What does your real surname mean/sound like? Perhaps you can pick one that matches it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Members IMeMine Posted May 27, 2011 at 09:18 AM New Members Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 at 09:18 AM I think 诗露 is a meaningful name, but I'm not a chinese, so, I guess I can't say much. But I've been poking around sites and I was thinking, how about 晓露? It means morning dew, and I think it's a very romantic name. Hope I help some!
