What method does your culture use to give out names?

The Chinese kick a can down the street and whatever sound it makes is the new baby's name...Ting, Ching, Ling and so on and so forth....\n\nBut honestly, it is the father or father's side (in my case, my paternal grandmother) who names the children. The first character is the surname, taken from the father. The second and third characters are the given names. The second character, I was told, is the "generation" name and in my family it is the same for all my sisters...but I find that this is not always true. The last character is the individual's name.\n\nAs four of my siblings were born in the United States, they have both a chinese name and a "legal" name. For their legal "western" names, their first names were chosen by our parents and their middle names are actually the enunciated form of their chinese names and of course, the surname is our father's surname.\n\nIn the Chamorro (indigenouse people of Guam) culture, it is common for the child's middle name to be the mother's maiden name. A woman then changes her middle name to become her maiden surname when she marries...or just adds it on. So a female child borm to Mary Taitano and John Cruz would be Lisa Taitano Cruz. When she marries, she would be Lisa Cruz Castro or Lisa Taitano  Cruz Castro. Hope that was easy enough to follow.

Once you choose the English name, and it will give you the Chinese lettering for that name.\n\nI hope this helps and have fun!

There are two ways to do names in Hebrew. The first way would be to transliterate the names, so that in reading the Hebrew, one would be saying 'Brian' or 'Louisa.' \n\nThe other way is to take the meanings of the two names and translating the meanings of the two names into Hebrew. For example, in English my name is Stuart. The meaning of the name stuart/stewart, like a stewardess on an airplane, is one who takes care of something. The meaning translated into Hebrew would be Shomron, from the word shomer, a guard. Or i could just take the word 'Stuart' and spell it with Hebrew letters.

♡"San" is added to the name the same way Mr. or Mrs. would be, a title. For Example, 'ludwigg san' (- or 'ludwigg kun'(*^o^*) ～kawaii!). It also shows respect. It's usually used with the family name, example Smith san, but can also be used with the first name, Cyn san. "Sama" is also used formally- Cyn sama. ～(Usually) For children, boys, "kun" is used, 'Tosh kun' (first name) or 'Mura kun' (last name). For girls, "chan" is used 'Mari chan' or 'Mura chan'. I live in Japan and I'm not a child, but people who are older than me call me "Cyn chan" all the time, my husband does as well. My family and relatives call my 'Cyn chan' or 'Cyn san' depending on their ages. I rarely hear anyone referred to by their first or last name only here in Japan～this is known as 'yobisute'. (Other than usually family members.  My hubby's younger sister calls him 'oniisan or oniichan' out of respect. He calls her by her name only because she's younger. She's younger than I am, but out of respect I still call her 'K san'. Mother and father are 'okasan and otousan'. This is our family, of course. Age is always respected in Japan.) There are many other titles in Japan as well, for professionals, teachers and so on....♡

What language is your name in? Sorry if I'm wrong, but if it's Chinese then write it out in Chinese characters. Then take it to a Japanese person and ask how they pronounce it. The Japanese use 'kanji' or Chinese characters extensively, including many of the same symbols in their names, just with a Japanese pronunciation.

It is done. However, when calling out for her, the name will most likely be an abbreviation of the full name. Junior is hardly ever used for women (although it is possible).\nFor example: Rosemary will be the name of the mother, and Rose will be the name the child is called with, although her birth name will be Rosemary as well.

On business in Japan, they usually use their last name.\nIt is very rare for them to call each other by their first names at work.\nBetter to add "san" after their names. "san" means Mr. or Ms. You can use it for both men and women.
