Can you help with Chinese character writing?

Question

To introduce a novel (Jackie Robinson and the year of the Boar) to my middle school reading students, I would like for them to write their name in Chinese characters. Is there a website where they can insert their name and then see how to write their name in Chinese? I would really appreciate the help. Thanks.

Answer 1

There are many.

Try searching for "get a chinese name" and you'll find one you like. Or, use this one.  

Answer 2

Jackie Robinson = 杰基 罗宾逊

Answer 3

There is a way for you to have names translated so they sound like the persons name like Phonetically... which is how the person above translated Jakie Robinson...

but Those translators give you a different name every time you enter you name the same...

so to give them a Chinese name is difficult because its like renaming someone...

My Chinese name is 邱迪和 or qiu di he

qiu(邱） is my surname... my last name which comes first always

di（迪） is my given name

he（和） is the generational name, sisters and brothers tend to have the same generational name sometimes cousins as well...

Chinese names usually consist of either 3 or 2 characters...

The surname is always there and I think the generational name is the name that some people take away but I am not sure.

like 何冲 (he chong) and 程菲(cheng fei) are two example of famous people with two characters. 郭晶晶 （guo jingjing) and 周杰伦 (zhou jielun... Jay Chou in English)

you might want to use Japanese, Thai, or Even korean those languages translate names easier.

I suppose you could use the link the first person gave you.

also keep in mind that Chinese characters can look messy or be hard to write if you are not used to strokes and may even come out wrong or as a different character.
