Description

Welcome
to
~ CHINA NAMES ~

A tribute to our children
and their Chinese heritage.

This group is exclusively for families who have adopted or are adopting children from China.


We maintain large databases of Chinese Names (4,000+ names) in Pinyin -- along with their Chinese characters and their meaning -- with new names added constantly. Please add your child's name to the Database, or post it in a message.

We also are a friendly discussion forum on Chinese names and naming practices. Topics include: whether to keep all/part of a Chinese name; what the names mean; which names are most suitable; and why we chose the names we did.

To explore: Pinyin lists are in "Database" section; Chinese characters are in "Photos".

To join this group, click JOIN and enter the following info in the "message" box:


1. Your FULL Name(s); 2. Current FIRST + MIDDLE Names of your child/ren;
3. Original Chinese Name of your child/ren; 4. Name of SWI through which you adopted.

If you do not provide this info, you must reply to an e-mail requesting it.
If you have not yet adopted, please detail your current status.
You must join with/maintain a Yahoo Profile and an active e-Mail address.
