Names In Chinese!^^

[olema]

Can you tell me how will be the name "George" in chinese Thank you!

I wish I could do so easily. I googled "Chinese name translation" and came up with some good hits, but the resultant name didn't have pinyin and it didn't allow for cut-and-paste.

George is 乔治 (qiáozhì).

I guess I might as well post here

Anybody can say how Kevin would be in chinese, and also its meaning "gentle/beautiful birth". I think it is interesting how the meaning would be, even though I don´t think my birth was exactly like what the name implies

Anyway, thanks if anyone is able to answer

Is it okay for me to use
亚历山大 or is that rather lame ?

I think obviously foreign names are better than Chinese names in some ways -- you don't have to explain to Chinese people what the characters are since they know right away. And with that name everyone will know you're "Alexander". So I'd say go ahead and use it.

Been using it class.

Need a chinese name for the HSK exam form.
Didn't put one on and had the form sent back to me
with a request to fill in my chinese name.

Hi Bigal,
Congradulations on taking part inthe HSK exams. Obviously your Chinese has reached to a certain level. And good luck with the exam. Do let us know how you went, 亚历山大。
