How to Choose Your Chinese Name

A proper Chinese name is not a letter-by-letter transliteration. For “Alexander”:

• Sound is a suggestion, meaning is the dealbreaker — the given name should echo Alexander’s phonemes while each character carries positive symbolism (radical + stroke meaning matter).
• The surname is always real — drawn from 百家姓, never invented for phonetics.
• Poetry allusions elevate a name — characters rooted in classical verse (like each option above) read as cultured to native speakers.
• Avoid unlucky homophones — where lazy transliterators fail; every candidate here is screened.
