ArchivesRe: Is there anyone who wants to discuss about Chinese names?
in reply to a message by Somebody random
Male: those including 國 (country) or 財 (wealth)
Female: those including 芬 or 芳 (both mean fragrant), 梅 (plum), 蘭 (orchid), 菊 (chrysanthemum), and also a bunch of names which suggested the parents want a son but got a daughter, eg 帶弟,招弟,來地 (all roughly means "bring a little brother")
Both: names including 大 (big), 小 (small) and numbers, which 陳小明 is roughly the Chinese equivalent of John Smith
