elina Posted July 28, 2005 at 12:03 PM Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 at 12:03 PM If your Chinese is good enough to read Mandarin, I think the first website is better than the second one, although the second one has English version. Lots of naming knowledge on the following websites: http://www.125we.com.cn/ff.htm http://www.lucking.com.cn/english/index.asp http://www.quming.com.cn/menu_2.asp?t_id=43&t_name=%D3%A4%B6%F9%C8%A1%C3%FB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devi9 Posted July 28, 2005 at 04:03 PM Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 at 04:03 PM http://www.chinasprout.com/html/naming.html An interesting article about giving babies a Chinese name. Offers the names of some books that might be able to help you out. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted July 29, 2005 at 02:21 PM Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 at 02:21 PM I came across the name of this baby today (strangely I cannot recall if it is a boy or a girl) and I think it is sooooooo good -> 許諾 (surname - 許 Xu3/Hui2; given name - 諾 Nuo4/Nok9; meaning - promise) And of course another very good name is that of singer 黎明, which means "dawn" literally.
