Which name fits better?

[name_m]Hi[/name_m]~name lovers!

I need a name that suits me better~
Please have a look at my icon, and tell me what you think, thank you. :slight_smile:
(new suggestions are also appreciated.)

My choice:

[name_f]Ciara[/name_f] / [name_f]Kiera[/name_f] (Irish name, pronounce keer-a, meaning black hair / small black one)

[name_f]Juliet[/name_f] / [name_f]Juliette[/name_f]

[name_f]Lia[/name_f] / [name_f]Lea[/name_f]

I was thinking [name_f]Leah[/name_f] before I even saw your choices! I really love it, and I think it suits you really well :slight_smile:
Best of luck!

Edited to add: you’re really pretty, just by the way!

[name_f]Lea[/name_f]. :slight_smile: (I pronounce it [name_m]Lay[/name_m]-uh, btw)

I think you could pull any of them off but I like [name_f]Lia[/name_f]/[name_f]Lea[/name_f]

I believe that a person is the one who defines the name, not the other way around. Any of these names could be used, but if you really want me to choose, then it’s [name_f]Lea[/name_f]/ [name_f]Lia[/name_f]. :slight_smile:

To me you seem like a [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]!

I do really like [name_f]Lea[/name_f]-pronounced-[name_m]LAY[/name_m]-a. If you aren’t game for the pronunciation problems that’ll probably come along with it, [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] it my pick. I think you could definitely pull off [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]!
Best of luck :slight_smile: I also changed my name because I never identified with my legal name. I feel way more like myself!

I like [name_f]Lea[/name_f] best.

I like [name_f]Lea[/name_f]!

Thank you for the advice and compliment. :slight_smile:

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone!

Thanks for the picks!

The reason I want a name is because I live abroad now. It bothers me when I introduce myself with my “Wade-Giles” Mandarin name. First, it’s not so easy to pronounce or remember for non-mandarin speakers. 2nd, when Mandarin names written in ABC, it lost its meaning.

The 2nd reason bothers me the most, a name without meaning. Once a person who has learned Mandarin told me my name “Jing-Wun” is beautiful, because “Jing” means “crystal” or “silence”, though he doesn’t know what “wun” means. He is sweet and I didn’t tell him my “Jing” actually means “pacify”.

For us, the chinese characters stand also for one’s own personality, good wishes and expectations from parents. It’s a pitty that we can’t share it easily.

This website and the advices from you guys are really helpful, I will think over it and tell U my choice! :slight_smile:

Cheers,
(and I don’t mind more picks and sharing!)

PS. I remember one thing that I want to remind my dear international friends, ask someone who really knows chinese before you get a chinese character tattoo!!

I like [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] for you. :slight_smile:

Thank you very much for your advices, I’ve decided to take [name_f]Lea[/name_f]! :slight_smile:

Hands down, the [name_f]Lia[/name_f] / [name_f]Lea[/name_f] option :).
