I think a lot of Chinese learners are interested in how to pick a Chinese name, so I'm here for some advice.
A Chinese name is constituted by surname and given name.
Commonly, the surname is less than two characters and the given name is less than three characters.
About surname you guys can search ' 百家姓' from Google, and choose one. For example, if your English name is Lucas then you could choose '陆', '鲁' or '卢' as your surname. Their pronunciations are 'Lu' sounds like your English name. Or if you like summer then you can pick '夏' or pick '白' if you like white as your surname.
Some characters are more suited to boys like '强', '志', '国', '震' etc. and some to girls like '静', '萍', '姝', '雯' etc.
I hope this helpful for you guys who want a Chinese name. Leave your message if you need some help. : )
I'm a native Chinese and now I'm learning English so if there're some people who are learning English or Chinese and if you're using WeChat/QQ/WhatsApp who need a language partner. Contact me, please.
