Are these translations correct?
My sons names are Tai-Yang and An-Jie. My mom says the name "An-Jie" means well-rounded & generous. However, her English is not the best so I am just wondering if this is the best translation? And "Tai-Yang" means great, peaceful ocean? They sometimes have a hard time expressing things in English. I don't doubt them, just want to confirm.THANKS!!!

well, it's depends. 太阳 means the sun in english, and 太洋 means great, peaceful ocean. The pronunciation of both 太阳 and 太洋 is Tai-Yang.

Tai yang doesn't mean ocean,if it is Chinese pinyin,its meaning is the sun in english,and An-jie,i don't think it means well-rounded and generous,maybe ur mon wanna say angel,cuz an-jie is a little like angel in pronunciation ^^ what about other ppl's advise?

"太阳"means the sun . "太洋"may means Pacific Oean ."泰洋"may means peaceful ocean.
