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 rules. A model may rewrite the explanation and, for Fix only, upgrade a missed Kill. Keep is rules-only. 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.
