Incredibly telling, yet hilarious to me as a Chinese person watching non-Chinese people try to come up with Chinese names for characters lmao
I know I'm guilty of doing it in other languages too hahahha
Oh her name is 梦l桃 and she's peaches themed?? Wowww didn't see that coming. A lot of these names tend to come off as strange because they don't sound like real names, they sound like nicknames or titles

No shame in ripping things from reality in order to put it your story. If anything it just makes your story better.
