My name in Chinese illumination

A name drawn rather than written

This is the least traditional of the name tools on this site, and it is worth saying so. The characters of your name are drawn into a picture, in a style closer to a decorated initial than to Chinese calligraphy proper. It is made to be looked at, printed, or used as an image.

What it shares with the others is the name itself: the characters come from the same transliteration, chosen for their sound and checked against the conventions that keep a foreign name from meaning something unfortunate.

If you want the traditional forms instead, three of them are here: a hanging scroll in a calligraphic style, a red seal in the archaic script used for signatures, and a greeting card carrying a set expression.
