How this works
01
姓 Family name
Taken from your birth month. It’s inherited, so the character’s own meaning isn’t chosen for its sense — it just carries the family line.
02
名 Given name
Two characters: the first (from your birth day) often carries a blessing, the second (from your birth year) usually carries a wish for the future.
03
Just for fun
Real Chinese names are chosen with far more care — by sound, meaning, stroke count and family tradition. Treat this as a playful starting point, not a formal naming system.
