Name Your Own Good Characters: Trump
888 Ways to Name Trump in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean:
Name Your Own Good Characters: Trump is a comprehensive guide on transliterating the surname Trump into Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Authored by Andy Chuang of Good Characters, Inc., it explores over 888 potential Chinese character combinations, examining their sounds, meanings, and cultural implications for naming. The book highlights the challenges of finding accurate and positive translations, contrasting common transliterations like 特朗普 (tè lǎng pǔ) and 川普 (chuān pǔ) with alternatives that may be phonetically closer or carry more favorable connotations, such as 創富 (chuàng fù), meaning create wealth. It also discusses the process of selecting characters for their aesthetic and emotional appeal, touching on the complexities of tones, simplified versus traditional characters, and the potential for creative interpretations. The text includes sections on the straightforward phonetic translations in Japanese Katakana (トランプ, Toranpu) and Korean Hangul (트럼프, teureompeu), along with appendices on different levels of Chinese naming, the author’s company history, and a biographical overview of the Trump name and family.
