Writing Adolescent Fiction/Character names/Chinese

Usage note

Chinese names are used by both Chinese and Taiwanese people. Chinese names, like those in many Asian countries, are androgynous. A person's family names come before the individual's name when in China or when speaking in the Chinese language. Many individuals' names are taken straight from family names, but two-part and even double names (like Sung-lee and Xiao-xiao) are also popular. Chinese-Americans of the Baby Boomer generation often have a compound Chinese-and-English name: Ya-Jack, Meg-Ping, Ming-Anne. Joneser,^{[citation needed]} Gen-X and Millennial Asian-Americans use the same name stock as the general population, but a few girls' names (Amy, Angie, Cindy, Connie, Helen, Michelle, Mindy, Wendy) are particularly common among Asians, and diminutives (Johnny, Jimmy, Tommy) as given names are more common among Asian-Americans than among the general populace. Traditional names with the prefix Ming and somewhat dated-sounding names common among the Baby Boomers are also popular among young Asian-Americans.

First names

Hulin is also used among those of the Marrim clan, but no one else is allowed to use this name.^{[citation needed]}
