What does your name mean?
Chinese characters are pretty complicated. If you write one stroke the wrong way it becomes a different character. So when people ask what your name is they also ask you to put each character in the context of its meaning. That way folks are able to know how the character is written. Also, a friend once told me that if something is cofessed over you enough times, you become that. For example, if everyone around you tells you that you’re stupid, eventually you start to believe it. So it seems, that if someone’s name is said over and over, they become more and more that person. Of course this is not true in every case, but regardless I think it is important to understand the origins of self, and one of these origins is in our names. My English name is Latin and mean “dedicated to Mars.” Mars-the Roman god of war. My Chinese name has two characters. The first character roughly translates into “a lot” and the second “wisdom.” i.e. I fight wisely. Bring it.

i have a one-character chinese name that means “sharp/bright”. i like what you said about how we internalize our names in a way. i used to wonder about that because people seem to reflect their given [chinese] names.
stephanie– my parents chose that name because they thought it sounded pretty.
my chinese name– means something like ‘extending ideals.’
My name meaning is along the lines of purity and cleanliness. And jewel.
English name, means crown in some european language ;p
The chinese characters for Kai (3) ming(2)
mean “triumph” and “inscribed” respectively.
If you do the math, that gives you triumph inscribed… or what my mom used to tell me “forever victory”
