Synopsis

Chinese names are made up of individual characters, used singly or strung together as a pair. Each character has a meaning of its own; therefore, selecting a good Chinese name for a newborn baby is more difficult than choosing one from a stock of names that includes Robert, James, June or Mary. This book aims to help English speakers select good Chinese names by providing them with various methods of choosing names. For instance, names may be chosen to express the parents' expectations for the future of the child. They may also be chosen to mark a significant event at the time of the baby's birth, or to represent the five elements of the universe. The names thus chosen are more meaningful, sound better and are easier to remember. The author has provided names for both male and female babies according to the methods suggested. She has also drawn up a list of English names that can be adopted along with the Chinese equivalents. This book will be a timely guide as you select Chinese names for your babies and even yourselves. It will also enhance your appreciation of the Chinese names of your relatives, friends and associates.
