[Opinions] Re: If you need a Chinese name .I`d really like to help.
Hello! I'd love to have my daughter's chinese name.
Her full name is Rosemary Amelie Belle.
You can do just her first name if you'd like :)My name is Chanel (sha-nell) if you'd like to do that as well.

Ok. Honorable to help.Let`s see your daughter`s name. Rosemary Amelie Belle.In fact, when in China, you will find most famous westerners` name are translated this way. If one`s first name or middle name is not very long, we may translate by sound.But if it`s too long(difficult and inconvenient for a Westerner), we just use his family name.Rosemary, is a very meaningful name, but I have to say in Chinese,the translation of Amelie e is so beautiful. I strongly strongly advise you to take the translation of Amelie as her Chinese name. Casue it is really attractive.Amelie , we have a very standard translation 爱米丽 “Ai-Mi-Li".
In fact A=爱 Me=米 丽=Lie.
Let me explain the meaning.Ai 爱 means love , affection exactly. isn`t it very romantic for a girl name. very poetic. every girl longs for love!!Mi 米 is translated by the sound. In China, Mi means rice.Many Asians wish to be as white fair and pure as the rice.Li 丽 means exactly pretty,beautiful,nice-looking.This name contains many elements that girl would love. isn`t it? Moreover, affected by the very famous French movie :Amelie from Montmartre. Amelie in China has been the symbol of that sort of Angel-like beautiful girl.Then for your name. Again congratulations! Beautiful translation name in Chinese.The also very famous standard translation is 香奈儿 Xiang-Nai-Er香 means "sweet-smelling fragrant" very appealing and romantic usually to describe flowers art or beauty.The combination of NAI 奈 and ER 尔 is mostly for the beautiful sound.Nai gives us a very soft feeling. Er, 尔, in ancient Chinese means "very gorgeous very grand and shining".It means something is really nice great and attractive.Chanel 香奈儿 in China has become the symbol of kind of very elegant graceful woman or office lady.

Thank you! I love Rosy's translation for Amelie! If it wouldn't be too much trouble could I have the translation for Rosemary and Belle too?

wow
it is ok.For Belle, we standardly translated it as "Bai Li "Bai 百 in Chinese is a word to tell the number. 1 Bai = 1 Hundred So in Ancient China, we usually use it to state our surprise at a large number or some strong emotion.Li 丽 as I have said means beauty. It is used to describe pretty,nice-looking girl.For Rosemary, I specially looked it up in dictionary. For the beauty, we may give it this translation Hai Lu.Hai 海 means the sea the great ocean,
Lu 露 means the dew.As Rosemary means dew in the sea , in Chinese 海之朝露, so I suppose it will be a nice name.

Rosemary Amelie Belle is gorgeous. What a nice combination. :-)Is Chanel in the database? (I guess I'm about to find out.)

Thanks :) Yes Chanel is in the database, but it's not what I would consider a "real" name. More like trendy fluff my mom thought was sophisticated sounding.
