Frequently Asked Questions
How does the AI choose my Chinese name?
Our AI analyzes the phonetics of your original name, your selected style, and the cultural meaning of individual Chinese characters to create a name that sounds natural and carries positive meaning.
Why does the birth month matter?
In Chinese Five Elements theory, each month corresponds to a dominant element (e.g. spring months favour Wood 木, summer months favour Fire 火). Providing your birth month allows the AI to calculate a more precise elemental balance for your name.
What are the three name types?
Phonetic — characters that sound like your name.
Classical — inspired by a line from classical Chinese poetry, with the original verse cited.
Elemental — characters chosen to harmonise with your birth year/month's Five Elements.
Classical — inspired by a line from classical Chinese poetry, with the original verse cited.

Can I use this name officially?
The generated names are culturally authentic and suitable for personal use, social media, or creative projects. For legal documents, consult a Chinese-speaking professional.
Should I add a Chinese surname?
