I have been looking through Shiseido’s address book in China and couldn’t help but notice some interesting choice of names. Now, I said ‘choice’ because I’m pretty sure these names were not the doings of the parents. It seems like a case of loss in translation – either that, or some deliberately picked names that would be easy conversation starters.
Some weather-related names listed:
All names are real, unchanged, and followed by a Chinese given name.
- Snow
- Summer
- Sunny
- Rain
How about a name inspired by nature:
- Bamboo
- Spark
- Shadow
No? Perhaps you’re a foodie? How about:
- Egg
- Apple
- Mango
- Lemon
- Banana
- Creamy
- Crunchy (“Mmm… CRUNCHY!”)
Love animals? Why not name yourself:
- Eagle
- Bear-Bear
- Dolphin
- Frog
- Lion (“I’m Lion.” “About what?”)
Proud of yourself? Then these are for you:
- Handsome (“Hello, I am Handsome!”)
- One (“Hey there”… “I am…the ONE” *winks*)
- Money
- Smacker
The choices are literally endless!
