A Chinese name to cherish

This practical guide is designed to help Chinese parents make the perfect choice in naming their children. Over 900 words, in simplified characters and hanyu pinyin, are arranged alphabetically for easy reference. The meanings of these words are explained in English and at least seven examples are given for each word. To help parents even further, there is a section that gives a brief description of the twelve lunar animal signs and names compatible with a child’s animal sign.
