Geiko Posted March 15, 2016 at 09:42 PM Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 at 09:42 PM A friend of mine wants to learn sumi-e, and he has asked me to find him a Chinese name to have his own seal. His name is Javier (like Francis Xavier, who died while waiting to set foot on mainland China). What do you think of 廉嘉卫? The transliterations I've found for Javier seem quite ugly to me (哈韦尔).

skylee Posted March 16, 2016 at 12:10 AM Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 at 12:10 AM Consider 瀚巍 or 瀚偉. 嘉衛 is OK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
889 Posted March 16, 2016 at 04:24 AM Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 at 04:24 AM Don"t forget the seal will, or should be, carved with traditional forms. As well, I think there's much to be said for avoiding characters with a lot of strokes. Write out the name a few dozen times first to see how the signature feels.
