For anything serious (legal ID, contracts), ask a native speaker you trust.

Frequently asked questions

Can I trust the names?

The list avoids odd spellings on purpose, but Chinese names depend on context. Show the name to a friend or teacher before you print it on a card or resume.

Work or school?

Many people use a Chinese name in class or at work. The pinyin line is there so others can say it. If it matters, double-check with someone who knows you.

Will “transliteration” match my English name?

Not syllable-by-syllable in this version. Pick Transliteration if you want notes that emphasize easy pronunciation; add your English name so it can be mentioned in the culture note. For a closer sound match, you still need a human speaker or a dedicated transliteration workflow.
