A small studio, on purpose.
Chinese Identity Studio creates personalised Chinese names and identity reports for people building a life in the Chinese-speaking world.
Why we exist
There is no shortage of Chinese name generators. Type an English name in, get twenty options out, free. What none of them will tell you is whether any of those options is actually good: whether it sounds like a real person’s name, whether it collides with something unfortunate, whether the characters say what you think they say.
That check is what we sell. It is done by a Cantonese and Mandarin speaker, and it happens in every paid tier — not only the expensive ones.
We are deliberately small. A name that matters to you should not be a volume business.
How we work
- Meaning first. Characters are chosen for what they carry, then tested for sound — not the other way round.
- Two standards. Simplified for mainland China, Traditional for Hong Kong and Taiwan. We ask which you need.
- Honest labelling. Every delivery states its review level and what we did not check.
- No promises we cannot keep. We do not claim a name will change your fortune, and we do not offer fortune readings at all.
- Your details stay yours. We use what you send to produce your report, and we do not publish client names without asking.
Where we are
We work in English, Mandarin and Cantonese, and we serve clients wherever they are — though most come to us because they are moving to, or already living in, a Chinese-speaking place. Reports are delivered digitally. Write to us at hello@chineseidentity.com.
