Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about crafting your authentic Chinese identity, our AI engine, and digital ownership.
How the Workflow Works
Explorer, Scholar Pass, Folio, and Masterpiece in plain terms.
No. The generator can preserve sound when that is important, but it also weighs meaning, tone, name structure, and cultural usage. You can guide the result toward sound, meaning, or a balanced blend.
Explorer creates a free first result with characters, pinyin, sounds-like guidance, and a concise explanation. Scholar Pass is tied to one original-name project for 7 days and supports deeper interpretation and focused refinement around that identity.
Folio is where saved favorites become long-term name assets in your account. Masterpiece is a later upgrade for one finalized Folio item, adding richer premium presentation around the chosen name.
Using the Generator
Tips for crafting your perfect cultural identity.
No, you can use your preferred name, a nickname, or even a pen name. This is about capturing your digital or cultural identity, not your passport details.
Be as abstract or specific as you like! You can type simple keywords (e.g., 'brave, calm ocean') or a full sentence (e.g., 'I'm a designer who values minimalism and resilience'). The AI Scholar will translate that essence.
Our engine will analyze the sound of your original name and independently select a highly poetic and culturally significant Chinese archetype for you. It's perfect if you want to trust the Scholar's intuition.
Pricing & Upgrades
Transparent models with no hidden fees.
No. myCHName operates on a strict, transparent one-time payment model. There are no hidden fees or recurring subscriptions.
The $14.99 Scholar Pass is your creative workshop—it gives you 7 days of unlimited regenerations for your original name until you find the perfect match. The $29.99 Masterpiece Upgrade is an add-on applied to one specific, finalized name. It locks that name in and unseals premium assets like studio-grade neural audio, the custom signet seal, and long-form curation.
That is exactly why the $14.99 Scholar Pass includes 7 days of infinite exploration! You can endlessly tweak your traits and preferences. However, due to the instant, bespoke nature of digital generation, all sales are final once purchased.
Understanding the Examples
How to read the representative naming samples.
No. They are curated static samples that show representative naming styles. Personal Folios are private by default unless a future publishing feature explicitly lets a user share one.
Yes. The generator already supports sound-led, meaning-led, and balanced naming directions. The examples are meant to help you decide which direction feels right before starting your own Explorer result.
No. Your result should respond to your original name, pronunciation clues, traits, and selected direction. These samples set expectations for quality and style, not a fixed template.
