Hi osxunix:

Congratulations ! It's a wonderful name, it will be Tan Lock Hong or Tan Lok Hong.

Confucius said: 智者樂水，仁者樂山；智者動，仁者靜；智者樂，仁者壽。

A witty person loves water, a kind person loves mountains;
A witty person's active, a kind person's calm;
A witty person's happy, a kind person's healthy.

Does your baby love mountains ?

Hi my baby name is 卓暄, how to translate to Hokkien dialect name? Thanx in advance!

[aokh1979]

卓 will be Tak.
暄 will be Huan or Hwan or Hoan.

Here, 卓 that means "outstanding" sounds like 逐 that means "everything" in Hokkien, different from Mandarin. In Mandarin, these 2 characters never sound so similar.

And, 暄 with a "sun" is also different from 瑄 or 碹 which are more common in names, they all mean jewelry that may have been a little materialistic, but 暄 means "warmth" and "bright". In other Hokkien names, most of the time you see 宣 comes as Suan but 暄 is pronounced Huan. In Mandarin, they all sound Xuan but in Hokkien, your baby's name sounds unique.

Do you think your baby's going to be warm-hearted, bright and outstanding in everything ?



PS: 逐項 ＝ Tak Hang, everything......

卓 will be Tak.
暄 will be Huan or Hwan or Hoan.

卓 is Tok and not Tak.
暄 is Huan (which is correct)

[aokh1979]

Maybe you're right, but I referred to a dictionary published in Xiamen. Tak is the 文讀 and Tok / Toh are both the 白讀。As surname, it is certainly Toh. Anybody else has any other thoughts ?

PS: I referred to 普通話閩南方言常用辭典 written by 林寶卿 in end 2007. Could it also be a "variant" ?

Hi all,

I'd grateful if anyone can help me translate this name 邱敬昕 in mandarin to roman hokkien characters. Well, it's actually for my unborn baby.

Thanks in advance.

I would spell that Khoo King Him. Does anyone else have a comment on that?

Congratulations on naming your baby in Hokkien!
