[Opinions] Re: Chinese Names
in reply to a message by Felie
I'm of partial Chinese ancestry, so I'm somewhat fluent in the language. Here are my personal favourites (I included the meanings of each individual character; forgive me if my translations are incorrect):Qingfang (清芳): "clean", "fragrant"
Keqin (克勤): "to win", "diligent"
Yumei (玉梅): "jade", "plum"
Zizhen (子珍): "child", "precious"
Zijian (子建): "child", "build"
Yuejun (悦军): "pleased", "military"
Xiwen (曦文): "sunlight", "language"
Ruofei (若飞): "like, as", "to fly"
Jiawei (家炜): "house", "bright"
Baoshan (宝山): "treasure", "mountain"
Zhiwei (志伟): "determination", "great"Many more meanings can be formed depending on which characters you combine, but these are just the most common ones I could find.My PNL: https://www.behindthename.com/pnl/159719/117411

Hi Aisyah !!!These names are great !!!!
Thank you so much!A little question...
Chinese names could be all given to males and females?
So these names could be good for both genders or there are characters totally masculine or totally feminine?Thank you a lot anyway !!!!!

Most Chinese names tend to be unisex, but from what I know, Baoshan and Zhiwei are the only masculine names while Yumei is feminine in the set I listed. :)
