Chinese names for English names

Rosie in Chinese: 罗茜 or a real Chinese name?

What people usually get wrong is assuming the Chinese version of their name should just be a sound-based transliteration. For Rosie, 罗茜 is correct when a foreign name needs to be written in Chinese, but it does not feel like a native Chinese given name. A good Chinese name should sound smooth to Chinese speakers, fit a feminine style, and carry a meaning that matches Rosie’s soft, floral, cheerful feel. The best choices echo the sound lightly while giving you a name that feels naturally Chinese.
