Chinese Names for Girls
Generally, a Chinese name is composed of two or three characters, like Li Ling or Li Lingling. The first is the surname followed by the given name.
1. The name should be melodious
The name as it is read it should produce a sweet sound. As the Chinese believe that a poor name will create interference in life because it will make a bad impression on others. So we always take care to the name. Many Chinese like to use reduplicated words for a name, like Huang Lingling, Li Fangfang, Qin Xiaoxiao, etc..2. Avoid homonyms
Homonyms are words that have the same sound or spelling but have different meanings. So parents need to take care to avoid putting two words together that may create a troublesome meaning. Examples include Wu Limao (rude) and Wei Cong (feeding insects).3. The Chinese horoscope
