hi,guys.what you are talking about is very intersting .In our china,
you can choose very thing to name the people,sometimes you would wonder if he is male or female only by his/her name. And with every pronounce there are many words for you choosing.
For example,慧敏，the pronounce is "hui min",but 惠民，蕙闽 they all get the same pronounce.That's a little difficult to undstand for an new learner,but you will get it very soon.In English,there are also many words have the same pronouce,too.Right?
Mile-O-Phile,i have visited the site which you advised.Yes,it's a good place for names.But it's a little simple.you know,there are many culture and history of the nation in one person's name,and aslo other thing ,such as the parents' hope.
There always be a chines name for every foreign friend in our china.Sometimes they get their chinese names from the pronouces of their own names in their mothercountry.For example,大卫(da wei)for Dave,简妮(jianny)for Jane.And another ones get their names form the chinese language.
hehe,so long explanation.Hope it's useful for you,third man girl.
慧敏(Huimin) 敏琼（MinQiong)慧琳（Huilin)
