What a name report covers
How it sounds
The Mandarin reading, tone by tone, and the Cantonese reading for family and friends. Plus the sound-alikes worth avoiding, so the name does not mean something embarrassing in everyday speech.
What it says
What each character means on its own, and what the two or three of them say together. Character meanings are checked against standard dictionaries, not invented.
Whether it fits
Your gender, your field, and where you will really use the name — a form, a school register, a business card, or a permanent document.
What a finished name looks like
承 chéng — to carry on, to undertake. 宇 yǔ — the universe. Carrying something larger than yourself.
思 sī — to think, to consider. 遠 yuǎn — far, distant. Thinking further ahead than the room you are in.
靜 jìng — still, calm, quiet. 宜 yí — proper, suitable, fitting. Calm, and right for the situation.
These are examples of the process, not customer names. Every paid tier is checked by a person before it reaches you.

Is this fortune-telling?
No. We do not do BaZi, five elements, or luck calculations. We work on language: how a name sounds in Mandarin and Cantonese, what the characters mean, and whether it fits the person carrying it.
Who checks the name?
A Hong Kong lecturer, born in China, who works in English, Mandarin and Cantonese. Every paid tier is reviewed by hand.
Is the free preview checked by a person?
No. It is generated automatically and is not reviewed by a person. That is why it is free, and why we say so on the report itself.
Simplified or traditional characters?
Both. Simplified characters with Mandarin pinyin are the standard; we write traditional characters with the Cantonese reading when you ask for them.
What if I do not like the name?
Paid reports include a 14-day revision window. Tell us what feels wrong and we will work it again.
