What is covered under Name Selection service?

[Cecil Lee]

Question: Can you advise what is covered under the naming service and how many names will be given for selection?

1. Thank you so much for your interest in our service. I’ll be personally assisting you with this part, as this is the area I specialise in.

2. Usually, I’ll shortlist the best available names from several top name stroke groups (typically within the 80%–100% name stroke range).

2.1 Depending on the number of strokes in each group, some groups may offer more options (around 5–10 names), while others may have fewer (about 1–5). Overall, there should still be plenty of names for you to choose from.

3. The names I usually recommend are chosen for their meaningful characters, so they sound pleasant and, where possible, carry a good meaning. If you don’t find a name you love from these groups, I’ll also provide a character reference list. You can then mix and match other names you like from that list, and I’ll help you check if they are suitable.

4. This way, you’ll have as many options as possible to find the most suitable name, helping you choose the best and most fitting name for your child.

5. In addition, if you have special requirements, such as following a family ancestral naming tradition, I can also work within those rules—for example, fixing the middle character to a specific one.

6. If this is your 2nd or 3rd child and you’d like to keep a certain middle or last character the same for all siblings, I will also select names to match that preference.

7. Even if you already have some favourite names in mind, I can help you check them and see how they compare with the best options from the ideal name stroke groups.

8. So please don’t worry—the process is quite comprehensive, and there is usually plenty of back-and-forth communication between my clients and me. After I prepare the initial report, most clients take some time to review it and narrow down a list of preferred names. Once you have your shortlist, I will then summarise those names in detail and provide a percentage breakdown of how well each name matches the ba zi. This makes it much easier for you to see which name is the most suitable.

Hope that helps.
Warmest Regards

This is a useful summary of our Name service:

Identical to above, but in text format:

Newborn Baby  
Name Selection  
Service (Off-site)  
Contact: Robert Lee  
@ +65 98355734  

1) Info Required:

a) English Name, Chinese Name, Gender, and Date and Time of Birth of Parents & Siblings (if this is not your 1st child)

b) Gender, Date and Time of Birth of the Newborn Baby

c) Any preferred names you would like us to check for suitability, or any preferred characters you hope to include in your child’s name

d) Whether you follow a Family Book (Zhu Pu) for naming

To make things easier and ensure no details are missed, it’s best to download and complete the Newborn Baby Name Form:

Once we receive your information, we will need at least 1 day (minimum). Some surnames are easier and can be matched more quickly, while others are more challenging and take more time. So even if you need an urgent review, it is still best to allow at least 1 day of lead time. During this time, we will prepare the initial report, which includes a detailed analysis of your child’s ba zi and a list of recommended names based on:

a) If you already have names in mind, we will check each name to see which name stroke group and percentage it falls under, so we can rank them for you.  

b) If you have a preferred pinyin sound or certain characters you like, we will recommend names that follow these preferences.  

c) Besides (a) and (b), we will also work out a range of recommended names from the top name stroke groups (usually within the 80%–98% name stroke range).  

You will then be able to compare how each name performs across (a), (b) and (c).

Normally, we focus on names with meaningful characters, as this is what most parents prefer. However, if you would like even more unique name options, we will also provide a character reference list. From this, you can create your own name combinations using the suggested middle or last stroke characters.

If needed, we will also advise on the most suitable English names (for example, which starting alphabet and how many characters in the name) that would work best for your child.

3) Once this comprehensive initial report is ready, most clients take some time to discuss the options with their family members. During this stage, you can narrow down your preferred names or name stroke groups, and you may also create additional unique names using the character list provided. Some clients also call us at this point to clarify any questions they may have before finalising their shortlist.

4) After you send us your list of preferred names, we will analyse each one in detail and calculate the updated five-element percentage for every name, so that we can rank them from most suitable to least suitable.

5) Some clients like to continue refining and thinking of more names to check if there are any even better options before confirming the final name. Steps 4–5 may be repeated a few times, with ongoing communication back and forth, to help you find the best possible Chinese name for your child.

6) Need help choosing an English name to match the Chinese name? We can assist with that as well.

Hi Cecil , do you provide feng shui for english name ?

Apologies somehow I missed your message. Usually more the reverse.

Selection of a mandarin name; then using pin yin to provide an English name. Not the other way around

It is a tradition for many Chinese to have their baby's name selected based on their ba zi.
