Would anybody please be able to give characters for the following
(supposedly-) common Chinese names? (either traditional or simplified).
... I try practice reading and writing by transcribing the text into Chinese characters, but person names are difficult for me to assign appropriate characters to. Surnames (I think I've got all these) Huáng 黃 Wáng 王 Zhāng 張 Lǐ 李 Zhào 趙 Máo 毛 Táng 唐 Mǎ 馬 Zhōu 周 Jiāng 姜 Jiǎng 蔣 Gāo 高 Lín 林 Sūn 孫 Sòng 宋 Fāng 方 Liú 劉 Chén 陳 Yáng 楊 Sīmǎ 司馬 ōuyáng 歐陽 Hú 胡 Wú 吳 Liáng 梁 Given Names (male) Dálǐ Mínglǐ Dànián Shìmín Huá Déxián Yǒngpíng Zìqiáng Jié Zhīyuǎn Guóquán Shàowén Shìyīng Tíngfēng Chén Zhènhàn Given Names (female) Juān Lìróng Wǎnrú Měilíng Xiùfèng Qiǎoyún Huìwén Défēn Lù Bǎolán 寶藍 Yùzhēn Měilì Mǐnzhēn Huìrán Bīngyíng Qīng Zǐyàn (This list is from the Orientation Module - Appendix 6). |

Chinese given names usually include characters with positive qualities - bearing in mind gender stereotypes ;-)
eg: Yǒngpíng = 永平 (eternal harmony) Měilì = 美丽 (beautiful) But most of them are less obvious, unfortunately... If you post the names over on http://www.chinese-forums.com/ someone there will probably be able to provide the characters easily. I think there are others there working on FSI hanzi transcripts too, so you may be able to cross check your work. (It might be worth setting up a wikibook to make cooperation easier - http://en.wikibooks.org/ or using http://www.chineseblast.com) |
