Since Exile and Lowtide had asked me about this, maybe I should bring it to public and givie everyone a better understanding of Chinese names if they want to make their pandarens sound more "pandaren!"

Use "Zhurong" as last time if you want to be related with fire.

I wonder to what extent this cash-cow insults Asian cultures.

Sadly, those were the simplified ones. You don't want to know the hoops I jumped through for my non-Pandaren (Arabic/Latin/Nordic) names.

Also I'll use this unique opportunity to ask if the Chinese have different names for European countires, like how Germans call their country Deutschland while the English call it Germany and us Serbs call it (transliterated) Nemachka. Do the Chinese have such unique(ish) names for European countries? If so, and if Serbia has one, then tell me how is Serbia and/or Serb said in Chinese? That could be an awesome nick. Sorry if this is a complex question, I know jack squat about Chinese language ![]()

![]() And here's what I can think of... in terms of it also sounds good in Chinese Belligerent Journalist => 征令使 Zhenglingshi Way Too Sober => 太清 Taiqing (I love this one. It's a very good name in Chinese, and it sounds very sage like. Even Flow => 平流 Pingliu I think here he meant the even as "smooth" Quote:
And about Serbia, We call it 塞尔维亚 Sai-er-wei-ya, it means the land of Serb. Last edited by Curll : 04-12-2012 at 01:13 PM. |

I've been reading into an ancient style of Chinese philosophy called "Mohism" recently as the basis for my character, but I'm having a somewhat hard time coming up for a name for the character. I know I want his name to include "Tzu" in some capacity.
Mohism was a philosophy with a lot of parallels to Greek stoicism, albeit with a lot of focus on the arrangements of the state, so a Chinese word/character emphasizing rigidity or stubbornness would be good. |

Oh boy I am gonna feel like an asshole if I end up with the only Pandaren without a chinese name.
