Your name,

Why a written form matters
There's rarely one "correct" way to write a Western name in Chinese. A name can be matched by sound, or by meaning — and the characters you choose carry their own weight. The same name can feel calm, bright, or strong depending on the characters behind it.
That's why every name here comes with options and the reasoning behind each, plus a link to the full story of every character we use.
