HelpRe: If you need a Chinese name .I`d really like to help.
in reply to a message by daizj900322
My name is Lotus, like the flower. It is really my middle name but it is the name I use often in conversation. It is not a common name to have. Other flower names (Rose, Daisy, Violet as examples) are more common.
I would love to have ideas for a Chinese nature name that is uncommon yet familiar and pretty.

Wow what a nice and poetic name.
In fact the character of "Lotus" is also very popular in ancient China.Nowadays, it is less common but mostly used in romantic occasions.
Lotus, in Chinese, have to corresponding characters： " Lian 莲” and "He 荷”。However，Lotus is kind of very graceful and soft flower.So, we usually use the "Lian 莲" for the name of girl.
The meaning of ”Lian莲“ not only stands for this flower, but also contains deep cultural backgrounds.
First, in India and China，Lotus 莲 is the holly flower of buddhist. It stands for sacred meaning, purity and goodness.
Second, I have to tell you that the world-renowned Chinese greatest romantic（not realism，we have another greatest realistic poet） poet "Li Bai" also named himself "Lian 莲“. In China, especially ancient time, only very distinguished , renowned decent and intellectual genius would have the chance to name themselves with "Lian 莲”. It is kind of holly symbol.
So I think "Lian 莲“ is very fit for you .
And other good news is once in a National-wide Chinese Character Beauty Contest held in Japan , "Lian-Lotus”is among the most beautiful 20 characters.
The pronunciation of Lian is /Lien/ dont separate li and en . speak them quickly together. You will find in Chinese, this sounds very soft and elegant
