Terms

By using Chinese Name Check you agree to a small set of facts about what this tool is.

A free checker, not a naming service

You paste an existing Chinese name. We return Keep, Kill, or Fix from documented, deterministic rules. We do not generate names, sell readings, or take payment on this site.

Judgment, not law

Verdicts are native-style structural judgments encoded as a heuristic. They are not legal advice, immigration advice, or a guarantee that a particular office, school, or relative will agree. Rare surnames, ethnic names, and literary courtesy names may land on Fix because the checker is conservative.

Your input

Only submit a name you have a reason to check. Email, if provided, is for unlocking the written report or noting a waitlist on Get a name — see Privacy.

The roast is aimed at the system

Copy on this site criticizes teacher transliteration, Xinhua punctuation, and salad-name pipelines. It is not a license to harass a person over a classroom name. Encyclopedia entries that mention public figures are cultural examples of a spelling pattern.

Parent brand

Chinese Name Check is a free tool. Names natives would actually use are a separate product at NativeChineseName.com.
