Basically Hokkien names = other Chinese names (Mandarin, Cantonese, etc), they differ only in pronunciation.

I am looking for the right english characters for my daughter name.

Her Middle name is Si2 which means thinking in Chinese. Just wondering what is the right Hokkien pronouciation for this word and how should I phrase in Roman Characters?

Can anyone help? Thanks.

Hi Den

Is the character 思 (si1 in Mandarin Pinyin)? If yes, it's also si1 in Hokkien. Actually it's pronounced differently in Mandarin and Hokkien but coincidently identical in both romanization systems.

Actually it can be si / su / sy (all in first tone) in Hokkien, depends on accents/contexts.
