as
a
pair.
Each
character
has
a
meaning
of
its
own;
therefore,
selecting
a
good
Chinese
name
for
a
newborn
baby
is
more
difficult
than
choosing
one
from
a
stock
of
names
that
includes
Robert,
Jeremy,
Susan,
Betty
or
John.
- This
book
aims
to
help
English
speakers
select
good
Chinese
names
by
providing
them
with
various
methods
of
choosing
names.
For
instance,
names
may
be
chosen
to
express
the
parents'
expectations
for
the
future
of
the
childs.
They
may
also
be
chosen
to
mark
a
significant
event
at
the
time
of
the
baby's
birth,
or
to
represent
the
five
elements
of
the
universe.
The
names
thus
chosen
are
more
meaningful,
sound
better
and
are
easier
to
remember.
