A Chinese name, made to fit you
Not a random pick from a list. A real name chosen the way natives actually do it: a surname that echoes the sound of your own, and a given name that fuses that sound with a genuine, well-omened meaning, tones and all.
What it will do
- Match a single-character surname to the sound of your name (Bell to 贝, Garcia to 高).
- Give you several full names, each with pinyin, the meaning of every character, and the meaning of the whole.
- Follow the conventions a native reader expects, and quietly avoid the traps (bad-sounding puns, wrong-gender names, object or place names).
- Let you trace each character by hand and keep a card of the result.
It is being built with care rather than rushed out as a "basic generator." Leave your email and we'll tell you the moment it's ready.
In the meantime, browse the Chinese symbols and their meanings, or see any character in classic calligraphy scripts. Naming a baby on the way? The legendary Chinese gender predictor makes a fine, fifty-fifty warm-up.
