Asking for flist help, Alex-style

[alexmegami]

So...

Let's say I wanted to name a character, in either Japanese or Chinese (preferably Chinese, but I'll take whatever sounds best)... well, basically something that would translate to 'Beautiful McPrettyprettypants'.

Anyone got some good suggestions? I know a few things ('ai', 'mei'), but I'm looking for a complete name that is basically nothing but characters meaning 'beauty/beautiful', but is also at least feasible as a name.

(...it's for Exalted, okay?)

Want me to pass this on to a friend of mine who speaks decent Chinese (although it's not her first language), is currently living in Taiwan, and translates Chinese songs as a hobby?

[alexmegami]

Sure, if you think she wouldn't mind. :)

[kisekileia.livejournal.com]

I'll message her then :).

Have you lost it, Alex? :>

[alexmegami]

It's for Exalted. I promise it all makes sense in that context. ;)

I'm pretty sure "Minako" uses the word for 'beauty'?

Zi Mei-Li Liu Yan Hua-Li

All words meaning beautiful or lovely or gorgeous.

Zi Liu-Yan might be a good one if you don't want to go with the stereotypical "Mei Li". Of course, the key of Chinese is the way you say a word, not just the word itself.

Well, I'm not planning to ever say it out loud (I'd probably mangle it anyway :P).

I actually kind of like Hua-Li.
