Choosing a Chinese name
When you choose a Chinese name, give consideration to the meaning and sound.
中国人对起名字是非常讲究的,因为这是一个富有创造性任务,要在这么多的汉字里面挑出一两个,成为一个独特好听又要寄托丰富内涵的组合是很不容易事情,说的复杂一点也是一种审美情趣。一般中国人的名字加上姓是两到三个汉字,有男女之分,“平,建,刚,明,强,斌,华,俊,龙,伟”这样的字眼常见于男名。女性的名字中多见“静,桂,珍,玉,芳,丽,美,凤,惠”。不过名字带有很深的时代烙印,不同年代的名字差距很大,这里所说的只是目前的一些情况,无法涵盖全面的分析。

取名字的时候,你需要想好希望赋予的意义,比如:富贵,权力,力量,平安,美丽,智慧,富有。这样可以缩小范围,然后再作不同的组合,这样会比较容易一些。还有一点不要忽略了,就是合在一起以后的发音。有些字虽然意思很好,但是组合起来可能不顺耳,或者容易发生歧异,那就不好了。比如:“范统”这个名字字面上也没有什么问题,读出来可能大家都会觉得可笑了。最后推荐一个好用的工具: http:http://www.mandarintools.com/chinesename.html 可以作为参考。
