craxgard Posted September 16, 2014 at 09:37 PM Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 at 09:37 PM I've been asked by my mandarin teacher to choose a chinese name until next class, and I was thinking about either 耿霓晓 or 阴霓晓. Does it seem like a "real" chinese name, or do you have better suggestion? I'm a girl btw.

skylee Posted September 17, 2014 at 06:38 AM Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 at 06:38 AM 阴? You can choose your name and you consider 阴? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demonic_Duck Posted September 19, 2014 at 03:14 PM Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 at 03:14 PM 阴's a pretty uncommon surname, and as Skylee says, I'm not sure why you'd specifically want to choose it. It could make people think of 阴天 (gloomy, overcast days) or worse, 阴部 (genitals, and a good number of related words for things in that area use the same character). 耿霓晓 looks fine, in fact it looks like a nice name (to my untrained eye). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imron Posted September 19, 2014 at 11:39 PM Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 at 11:39 PM I don't know if it's just a feature of people I've met, but in my experience 晓 appears to be more commonly used as a middle character rather than the last one.

february6 Posted September 27, 2014 at 09:01 PM Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 at 09:01 PM I am a native chinese speaker. 晓 was quite commonly used as a middle character in names of 70s, not so common now. From my personal experience, many such names was originally has 小 in the middle, when the children start school, they think 小 is not suitable for a proper name and change it to 晓。There is nothing wrong to have 晓 as the last character and it sounds good in this name 耿霓晓。 To choose 阴 as surname is quite strange to me, I do not know any person have 阴 as surname yet.

aone Posted September 27, 2014 at 11:43 PM Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 at 11:43 PM Elin How about 伊 (Yi) 琳(Lin)？ 阴 is definitely not the first option. You can use one with similar pronunciation to 阴，e.g. 尹. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
