[OT] Chinese & Indian names. Need help for writing

[dogscoff]

Heh, the mother is certainly a forceful personality, but then the father certainly isn't a pushover.

Damn, I just can't wait for all you guys to read this.

This page also has quite a few interesting links about names.

Thanks, but as you so rightly point out...

At any rate, I would advice to check with a Chinese speaker before settling on a full name,

Which is kind of what I was hoping to achieve by posting here. We have a very diverse community on the forum here, and I was hoping someone would pipe up with "Oh yeah, I'm chinese, I can help."

Once more, I beg everyone's indulgence in my never-ending quest to avoid actual research.

On another note, age is counted differently in Chinese than in our societies: a baby is born one-year-old, and your age increases on the New Year. The actual birthday is still on the day of the birth. I do not know if this will have any influence on your book, however.

Not at the moment, but worth knowing. THanks.
