Looking for Chinese names with specific characters in it

Hello everyone :)

 

I'm currently planning for a short story that I would like to write, and I am looking for existent Chinese first names (so not family names) with specific characters in it. I have tried browsing the Internet for quite a while but wasn't able to find a database with first names that could be searched by ideogram, so I thought I'd try my luck here and ask real people instead of google.

 

Here is what I would ideally love to find:

- one boy's name with "sun" in it
- one name (working for both genders or female) with moon in it
- one boy's name with "night" or "shadow" in it
- one girl's name with "flower" in it
- and one girl's name with "song" in it.

Any kind of suggestion is more than welcome, I have extremely basic knowledge of Mandarin Chinese and could definitely use all the help you might offer :)

Thank you!

You can have a look at this website. It's all in Chinese, but you only have to fill in the top left-hand form: leave the 姓 field blank if you don't want family names, and then choose 汉字取名模式, the gender you want, in the 名 field write the character you want and choose if you want it to be the first or the last character out of two character names. Some examples:


- Boy's names beginning with  and ending with 


- Girl's names beginning with  and ending with .

^Great resource there @Geiko.

However, 日 in a name is a terrible choice (as well as "sun", it also means "fuck"). 阳 could work, but it also has many other meanings besides sun (it's also the Yang of Yin-Yang).
