Volle Posted March 7, 2016 at 08:18 AM Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 at 08:18 AM I'm looking for a name for myself in Chinese and I found this 创优 which apparently means "to strive for excellence." I'd want it to be 光创优, would it be an acceptable Chinese name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
歐博思 Posted March 7, 2016 at 07:43 PM Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 at 07:43 PM Doesn't sound like a given name to me, but I like it *Not a native speaker* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
889 Posted March 8, 2016 at 01:56 AM Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 at 01:56 AM But Guang Chuang is a bit of a mouthful, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lips Posted March 8, 2016 at 02:12 AM Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 at 02:12 AM As written, 光 would be the surname. FWIW 光 is not a common surname in China, but it doesn't mean you can't be the first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
889 Posted March 8, 2016 at 04:46 AM Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 at 04:46 AM Of course it's the surname, but when giving his full name he'd be saying Guang then Chuang, and that doesn't quite roll off the tongue, at least not off mine.

Kenny同志 Posted March 8, 2016 at 05:06 AM Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 at 05:06 AM It, like 令計劃, 令方針, and 令完成, would be a good name for a member of the Communist Party (This is called 相得益彰). But for a non-member? No, it sounds awful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted March 8, 2016 at 05:39 AM Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 at 05:39 AM If 光 is the surname, consider 光明. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volle Posted March 8, 2016 at 05:58 AM Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 at 05:58 AM How about changing my surname to 沈? Then my full name would be 沈创优. Would that sound okay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coralreef518 Posted March 22, 2016 at 06:41 AM Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 at 06:41 AM to be honest, sounds like a brand name, but not a person's name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted March 22, 2016 at 09:44 AM Report Share Posted March 22, 2016 at 09:44 AM I agree with #11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volle Posted March 26, 2016 at 09:09 AM Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 at 09:09 AM What sounds like a brand name? 沈创优 or 沈创优? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonic_Duck Posted March 26, 2016 at 09:56 AM Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 at 09:56 AM What about 自强 for a given name? Strive for self-improvement (自强不息). Sounds a lot more "namey" than 创优. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
