For example, my Chinese name is 耀光.  My mother went to a fortune-teller and he said that I needed fire in life.  However after going through the Chinese dictionary and found that she did not like any of the fire radical characters.  However she hit upon on the idea that where there is light, there must be fire.  My name thus came from, 光宗耀祖 to placate my grandfather so that I won't have to share a common middle name with my cousins.  My mother wanted to make a break from the other branch of the family, which my grandmother, the second wife, fully concur.  My wiley political mother :)  It was reversed to avoid clash with the name of the prime minister of that time.

2.  Don't leave a space before the comma but one after it.

3.  Don't leave a space before the period but TWO after it.

1.  fortune-telling = 占卦, geomancy = 風水
