How it sounds
Tone pattern 1-2 (high-level + rising).

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. Sharp sound profile carries presence — pair with surnames that don't compete for emphasis. Always read the full name aloud with your surname before finalizing to check for accidental homophones.
