Name of the Baby - Part II

My favourite are 王乐凡 and 王子欣. The first one gives a happy impression and the second one is like the name of a prince.

Have you considered any two-character names? How about 王罗, hehe. Or naming him after a famous person.

Seriously, though, I like 王子欣. I just think it sounds nice.

王乐凡 ...

but is it "le fan"? or "yue fan"?

My first reaction is that 王天哲 is a very good name for a man. Others may be more or less gentle :p

王子欣 fits perfectly with the pictures you posted:

王天哲

王乐凡

I think I like these both, but you and Wendy have the first say!!!

:-)

Would you consider names with more masculine appeal?

王乐凡。子欣像是台湾人的名字，有点女性化。纳言太直白。天哲没有乐凡好。逸凡是我一个同学的名字

王乐凡 乐字

王子欣 子字

王天哲 哲字

这三个普通话发音不够响亮，对于男孩子来说，属于取名不推荐字

我更喜欢 王逸凡

i like 王逸凡 and 王子欣 better

我喜欢王逸凡，宁静平凡，多难得的境界啊。

I generally agree with the rest of the people that some of the names are rather Taiwanese and a bit feminine, or the very least, lacks punch. What about 王硕豪？

王乐凡

"子欣"老外应该发不出来，既然你不愿意起英文名的话，总得方便别人喊你吧，hoho。

尊夫人贵姓？小孩子具体出生时间是何时？

王乐凡

太太叫范文峰(Wendy)，the boy was born at 1:15 PM, June 2.

I iike 王乐凡 and 王逸凡,乐-一生快乐,逸-飘逸潇洒,凡-凡中出奇.呵呵!

王乐凡 王天哲

王子欣 很别致的名字

王天哲 is my pick..

直接叫 王子 吧。。。哈哈。。。又简单又明确又大。。。

我还没有孩子，不过已经想好了名字，无论男孩女孩，都叫 白天 ：）

不过要是双胞胎，，，就麻烦了。。。

my son's name: 钱加乐, and i like "王逸凡". And sure, it's up to you.

王乐凡

I prefer 王乐凡 (Wang Lefan)

I like "王逸凡" better.

"王" for the king

"逸" for out of this world

"凡" for out of the ordinary

夫人是不是姓fan，那就叫逸凡好了，乐凡的乐多音，不好念~

I would suggest considering something more upbeat. 建硕 and 文峰 are both good, upbeat names.

下午1时1刻为未初，"未"通"帷"，取"运筹帷幄"之意。

王帷哲、王逸帷

听上去都比较顺口，不过也只仅供参考而已。

Your baby is so, so cute... 王乐凡 seems like a very happy name...

My wife (from Shanghai) and I are expecting our son on 10th September. We have had the same discussion around english names and chinese names - we have decided what both of the names will be now, but I agree with your comments around the legal requirement. For the record, he will have his english name on his passport and legal documents (which is a combination of an english first name and pinying of my wife's family name as his middle name), but we have already decided on his chinese name also out of respect for both of our cultures. With all our blessings to you and your 小宝...

王乐凡，wang love fan? :P

?? - Wang Lefan... 'happy & wordly' - where does love come into it?

Except 王天哲, all the other names are so girlish.

Except 王天哲, all the other names are so girlish.

And also, i think 天哲 is not that lucky, think about it carefully, u can figure it out.

王乐凡: This name sounds way too "chinese" (yes, its perfectly normal since you are chinese) but it sounds very "lao tu" so funny. very "diao er lang dang". Don't choose this name.

王子欣: This name sounds alright. It seems to symbolise your hope for ur boy and your happiness in having him join your happy family :)

王纳言: This name sounds funny and I can't explain why. Very chinese again and it sounds funny too.

王天哲: Hem...very philosophical....(no comment for this name)

王逸凡: Nice name. It makes him special. Thumbs up

Someone suggested giving ur boy 2 words name and I strongly discourage you to even think of that. Its very "lao tu" X 10000000000 times and you risk the chances of having millions of other chinese having EXACTLY the same name as ur boy

Hi Jian shuo,

how many weeks of paid maternity/ paternity leave do you and Wendy get when giving birth in China?

Do you consider to hire a Feng Shui Master to pick a name for your son?

王乐凡 is the best of them.

As far as I know, the precious things in one's life is he or she can enjoy his or her life happily. enjoying ons's life has anything to do with how much money one can have but is an attitude. That's easier to say than done.

乐凡 can indicate an a state of mind, a way to look at the wrold and a way to look at oneself.

I think 王乐凡 can best express parents' wishes to their lovely child.

我觉得"王乐凡"最好。

在我看来，一个人一生最难得的就是动了快乐地生活。这与一个人有多少钱无关，而是一种生活的态度,是一个人看待生活看待自我的方式。

乐可以理解为"快乐" 凡，我想，就可以理解为"在这个世界上"吧。

乐凡，在我心中可以代表父母对孩子最真挚的爱。

王逸凡，好名字!

王子欣 is also a great name, but sounds a little like a girl's name. "鑫"更manhood些。: )

王乐凡，the only "problem" with this name is that "乐"字是个多音字。

同是"凡"字，"逸凡"比"乐凡"更classy些。

王天哲, sounds very heavy and serious.

王纳言? 好象听不出有简单快乐做人、生活的意思。Serious and irrelevant.

Plus, fan is also Wendy's last name. So, at least should keep "凡"字吧？

恭喜，王乐凡也是我曾经考虑过的给儿子的候选名字，hoho

另外一个考察角度供参考，从五格分析上的优选顺序依次是：

王子欣 王天哲 王纳言 王逸凡 王乐凡

I like the name 'Wang YiFan'. The others are not so good. The two names recommended by cube316 are pretty good.

王哲伟 and 王天哲 are definitely the best ones ;-)

Not for ads.I tried names of my friends and mine as well on www.xingming.net.Believe or not, its statements some kind of like the fortune of them.So I suggest try these name to see the result, anyway, another reference maybe, or just for fun.

I agree with Jennifer. Till now I still don't know what "na yan" means and I assume thats how its should be pronounced? It sounds heavy and serious and hard to be pronounced by non-chinese. Yi Fan is way more classy than le fan (as it most probably will end up being pronounced as "le1 fan1" (happy upside down)......

????Janbo Wang??????????????????

逸凡 强烈赞同取名 逸凡

我以为名字糙点好，以上名字都太轻了

another choice: 王子

王小丫
