What's your Chinese name?

Here's a Chinese name generator, just for Big grins.

My name is Xie Aining, meaning "fond of serenity or repose" (another translation: lazy).

"Sharp bow" whatever that means. My real Chinese name, BTW, is Moa Bei-ka. Moa (not sure of the Romanized spelling) is just what my dad was assigned when he started taking Chinese, so it's now all of ours in the family; and Bei-ka, well, sounds like Rebecca. I'm not sure if it has a meaning.

Xia Maoren

Means I am talented and benevolent. Does this mean that I sing and dance for the homeless?
I do like Xia ....sounds really exotic!

Leow Ke Li

well duh... sorry - I skipped the generator! There is a more direct transliteration from English to Chinese for Kerri, but DH preferred going sideways a little to improve the meaning. I can't remember exactly, but ke ai is adorable. It's also easier to write as it is, which doesn't actually mean I remember it. There are a few people who actually use my Chinese name consistently but not many.

couldn't get the generator to make sense of my surname because it kept insisting on turning Leow into either Liu or Li instead of Liao. DH reckons it's probably Cantonese based and ended up walking away in disgust! I daren't try my maiden name or it might just fuse my computer!

Kerri.

Wu Tian rong

Eh, can't say I like it very much, though the meaning is OK. Tian is supposed to be quiet, peaceful, and rong was tolerant, I think.

My husband found a Japanese name generator a while ago. He got Saruwatari (monkey on a crossing bridge) Taiki (large radiance) and said, "would that be a flaming monkey, then?" Eye-wink

I got Endoh (distant wisteria) Ayumi (walk, deeper meaning: walk your own way). I think I got the better deal. Eye-wink

DD15.5 just looked over my shoulder and said, "Manners? Yep! That's you, Mom!"

Something about "spiritual writing."

For my current life it could not be more accurate -- I am writing the mission statement for my parish and the explication of its various parts.

My "Japanese name" is Ishimaru (round stone) Yui (superior garment). Say what?

apparently your DH and I are related...

My Japanese name: Saruwatari (monkey on a crossing bridge) Miharu (beautiful clear sky)

I like Miharu, that's pretty.
