真名 — Real Names

Not transliteration. Translation of feeling.

We don't map letters to characters. We listen to the sound, the season, and the elements — and write a name that a Chinese friend would actually give you.

Emma→苏雅琳

Sū Yǎ Lín

“the elegance of jade by the river”

Sū opens with the same softness as Emma; 雅琳 keeps her grace.

Michael→麦瑞文

Mài Ruì Wén

“auspicious wheat; literary spirit”

Mài echoes Mike; Ruì-Wén lands the literary, capable feel.

Lily→黎清岚

Lí Qīng Lán

“dawn-clear mountain mist”

Lí matches the L-sound; 清岚 paints lily-like clarity.

James→詹书行

Zhān Shū Xíng

“the scholar who walks his own path”

Zhān echoes James; 书行 = literate and self-directed.

起名之道 — The Ritual

Three steps, five-thousand years behind them.

一

Listen

Tell us your story

听其声

Your English name, the year you were born, the season you arrived. Optionally the hour, if you know it.

二

Compose

Old wisdom meets new mind

察其象

We pull surnames that match your sound, given-name characters that hold your meaning, and balance against your 八字 element profile.

三

Brush

Receive your name

成其名

Three characters in calligraphy, with the meaning, the sound bridge, and the element story written out for you.

名之四道 — The Four Principles

Why most generators
just don’t feel right.

Translation tools spell out your name letter-by-letter. The result is technically correct and emotionally empty. We work the way a Chinese parent would — by listening, watching, and balancing.

声

Sound

We listen to the music of your English name first. Soft openings (Sophia, Lily) want soft surnames; hard plosives (Kate, Mike) want bright tones.

象

Image

Each character carries an image. 雅 is a swan in literature. 岚 is mountain mist. We choose two that paint a picture of who you are.

数

Numerology

Your birth date sets a 八字 profile — a season, a Heavenly Stem, an Earthly Branch. We balance the missing element through character imagery.

雅

Taste

We avoid the placeholder names — 李明, 王伟. A real Chinese friend wouldn’t name you that, and neither will we.
