Any website that can tell meaning of a given name or teach how to give Chinese names?

I search Google and alot of website is from English ppl who basically doesn't know much about Chinese culture but pretend to be expert.

Recently my bro got baby and give a very funny name to the kid. I worry next time I will have to follow the name he give for my baby and will also sound funny. We are not Chinese educated so I thought maybe he just simply give by thinking it sounds cool but I would like to give a name that has good meaning.

Now since he already choose the middle I guess the tradition us to follow the middle and I can only choose the last name. But the middle he give very funny le.

Please dun ask me wat the name as he is on this forum later know I think he give funny name will be trouble.

If you are a bananaman, a Chinese name that have meaning you will feel funny.
And by typing English on the web, sure won't give you the result you want.

I let my PIL get sifu to tailor the name based on date of birth. But the name they given us.. gosh.. hard to call and funny too. None of it sound normal. The 1st superb best name given is "Hoi Foon" and my hubby surname is Koh.. so put together will end up "Call handphone". tongue.gif
So we decide to go for 2nd superb name. Still another "ulu" name. biggrin.gif

ya, agree, no specific rules.
my cousin wrote a poem for his daughter, and he taken 2 words from the poem to name his daughter.
to me, my only rules are avoid words that have too many strokes or words that have funny/bad meaning or sound...

I thought more stroke the child will more genius cos can write difficult character?
