	Chinese name - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chinese married women usually retain their maiden name as their family name, rather than adopt the name of their husband, and children usually inherit the father's family name.
		Among Chinese Americans, it is common practice to be referred to primarily by the Western name and to use the Chinese given name as a middle name.
		Chinese from Mainland China are generally recognizable from the Hanyu pinyin romanization used which includes "x", "zh" and "q" which are not found in other romanization systems and which does not use hyphens.

	Chinese family name (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Chinese family name s are passed from the father, and there is generally a taboo against marriage between persons of the same sur name.
		There are family name s with three or more characters, but those are extremely rare and most likely have non-Han origin, for example, Aixinjueluo (愛新覺羅, also romanized as Aisin-gioro, which means "Golden Family {金氏}" in the Manchu language), the family name of the Manchu royal family of the Qing dynasty.
		As with the concentration of family names, this can also be explained statistically, as a person with an uncommon name could move to an unsettled area and leave this family name to large numbers of people.

		A '''Chinese style name''', sometimes also known as a '''courtesy name''', is an extra name that could be used in place of the given name.

		Rosie's Chinese name is Yu Zhi Qin and I named her Rosemary Zhiqin.
		In terms of Chinese names, I'd like to point out that Chinese surnames are mostly one character (very rarely there are 2-character surnames), given names are between 1-2 characters, even though I noticed that it's even more rare to see single-character first names from people from Taiwan.
		Anyhow, that's very smart and careful of you to name your daughters that way, that's exactly how Chinese families carry their genealogy, that the first character of a given generation was usually pre-determined by ancesters, you only need to give the 2nd character to your new-born.
