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.

The 1st superb best name given is "Hoi Foon" and my hubby surname is Koh.. so put together will end up "Call handphone".  So we decide to go for 2nd superb name. Still another "ulu" name.  Mt partner tell me Hoi is very ancient name? That's the middle I need follow. Then like dunno how la. QUOTE(vandoren @ Aug 10 2015, 04:27 PM) 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?
