Can someone help me with my chinese name? I'm going to China soon and i think i need to decide on my chinese name beforehand. For surname i think to use character with "ai" reading beacuse it is the begining of my real surname. I think between 艾 or 霭, but i've read that the last one is quite rare and i dont know if any problems can occure. If there are any other "ai" surnames with nice graphic or meaning? Given name is more difficult, i don't know if making it represent my actual name is a good idea, i'd rather not want it to represent it fully but only the first part (something like di,qi,ji (my real name first syllable sounds like "di" but chinese often pronounce it like "ji")). It'll be nice to have some graphically laconic symbols in it (like 计, 文 and so on). I've seen someone's name on internet, it was 谛言 but i don't know how to actually interpret it. And i'd like more discreet and culture-oriented name, rather than something epic and heroic. Many thanks!
