How it sounds
Tone pattern 4-3 (falling + falling-rising).
Falling then falling-rising. Strong then quiet — assertive but not overpowering.
Style: transliteration-standard
A standard phonetic match for the English name (used in Chinese Bibles, news translations, official documents). Useful when you want clear English-to-Chinese identifiability.
Pairing with a surname
2-character given name
Standard structure for modern Chinese names. Pairs naturally with most common single-character surnames (王, 李, 张, 陈, 刘) for a 3-character full name. Always read the full name aloud with your surname before finalizing to check for accidental homophones.
