Traditional Chinese Naming
Based on traditional Chinese naming concepts, combining cultural wisdom with modern preferences. Each character is carefully scored according to multiple dimensions including phonetics, meaning, and cultural significance.

Multiple Generation Modes
Choose between preference-based generation (using our curated database of 1000+ characters) or AI-powered generation (transliteration of foreign names or custom descriptions).
Comprehensive Analysis
Each name comes with detailed scores across 6 categories: Style, Gender, Tone, Luck, Aesthetic, and Popularity. Click any name card to see the complete breakdown of scores for both characters.

💡 Tips & Tricks
1
Start with Fewer Preferences
Don't select too many preferences at once. Start with 2-3 key characteristics you want (e.g., "Elegant" + "Lucky") to get better matches. You can always refine your selection later.
💡 Example: Select "Modern" + "Wisdom" for contemporary, intellectual names
2
Check the Match Score
The Match Score (0-100) shows how well a name fits your selected preferences. Scores above 80 are excellent matches, 60-80 are good, and below 60 may not align well with your choices.
💡 Tip: Sort by "Match Score" to see the best recommendations first
3
Explore Different Sorting Options
Try sorting by different categories (Style, Luck, Aesthetic, etc.) to discover names you might have missed. Each sorting reveals different aspects of the names.
💡 Try: Sort by "Luck" if fortune and prosperity are important to you

5
Adjust Voice Settings
Customize the pronunciation by selecting voice gender (Male/Female) and speed (0.6x-1.2x). Slower speeds help with learning pronunciation, while normal speed sounds more natural.
💡 Recommended: Use 0.8x speed for clear, natural pronunciation
6
Consider Gender Balance
While generating names, pay attention to the Gender score. Traditional Chinese names often have gender-specific characteristics. Higher gender scores indicate stronger alignment with the selected gender.
💡 Note: Some characters are unisex and work well for any gender
