How does your Chinese name sound to a Chinese ear?

What we check

The checker looks at the sound of the full name, the meaning of each character, the gender impression, common Mandarin homophones, famous-name collisions, and whether the name appears in our curated corpus. It also gives practical notes on how people will address you.

The result is a reading, not a verdict on your identity. A name can be unusual and still be good. A name can be common and still be wrong for you. Use the checks to start a conversation with a Chinese speaker, not to replace one.

What this build does not check

• Cantonese and other regional homophones are not enabled yet. We only flag the curated Mandarin list in this build.
• The celebrity and brand list is curated, not exhaustive. “No collision found” does not mean the name is unique.
• We do not check trademark registrations or official name registration.
• We do not assign a score. A name is not a test you pass.

Privacy

Checked names are not saved to a public result page. The server may keep short-lived logs for security, but we do not publish or sell the name you enter. If you want a shareable result, use the Finder, which creates a result link from your English first name and preferences.
