Bazi-Based Baby Naming · Chinese, English, or Bilingual Sets
The Shun Qian Feng Shui & Metaphysics team prepares a tailored set of given names for families in Malaysia and worldwide. Once the baby's exact birth time is in hand, we work from your child's Bazi (八字, Eight Characters of birth) and the five-element (wuxing 五行) favourable direction. The master hand-picks 3-5 candidate names and walks you through each one — five-element, Kangxi stroke count, phonetics, etymology, and meaning — on Facebook Messenger; once you choose, we issue a final naming report PDF for the selected name. Delivered in 5 to 7 business days, with one free round of refinement included.

What is Bazi-based baby naming
Bazi-based baby naming reads the newborn's date and time of birth to construct the eight-character birth chart, identifies the five-element favourable direction the chart calls for, and then hand-picks given names that balance the chart through Kangxi stroke counts, phonetics, character meaning, and cultural resonance. It is not a name dictionary or a random generator — every candidate carries a written explanation of why the master chose it.
Modern Chinese families often need both names — a Chinese name that carries the family generation marker, the five-element direction, and character meaning, plus an English name used at school, in social settings, or in any future overseas pathway. The Shun Qian Feng Shui & Metaphysics team supports both naming threads: English-name only, Chinese-name only, or the bilingual combination set; full pricing is in the package table below.
The service suits three groups of parents. First, expectant parents who want to reserve queue ahead of the birth — the master begins selection only once the precise birth time is known. Second, parents whose baby has been born but whose name hasn't been decided yet. Third, families with an existing Chinese name who want to add an English name later for international school admission, social settings, or future studies abroad. The master communicates one-on-one with you on Facebook Messenger and starts hand-picking the 3-5 candidate names once your intake is complete.
What you will receive
① Reading the Bazi favourable direction
Using the baby's year / month / day / time of birth (precise to the hour pillar), the master casts the four pillars and reads day-master strength, five-element excess or deficiency, and the seasonal regulating element. This reading is the foundation for every name candidate — for example, if the chart is short on metal or weak in wood, the master prioritises Chinese characters of those elemental categories and English syllables that resonate with them. The report explains the reading in plain English without jargon walls: e.g. "The baby's day-master is Fire-Bing, slightly excessive; we recommend characters in the Water element to balance," so you can follow the logic rather than just trusting a verdict.
② Chinese name candidates (3-5 options)
Following the five-element direction, the master hand-picks 3-5 Chinese name candidates. Each name comes with: per-character five-element attribution, total Kangxi stroke count including the family surname, phonetic structure — avoiding tongue-twisters and unflattering homophones — character-by-character meaning analysis, and the overall semantic feel of the full name. The selection considers stroke-count ratios between the surname and the given name characters, tonal flow avoiding three identical tones, and overall readability. Chinese-only orders deliver this set on its own; bilingual orders deliver it alongside the English set.
③ English name candidates (3-5 options)
The English-only package draws candidates from Greek, Latin, Germanic, Hebrew, and other Western etymological lineages, aligned to the five-element direction read from the chart. Every candidate ships with etymological root, literal meaning, cultural background, and pronunciation / sound notes. The master accounts for general pronunciation norms and cultural fit, and screens out names with awkward homophones. If parents already have a candidate name in mind — for example a family-tradition name, a memorial name, or a name from a beloved book — tell us at intake — the master will evaluate how it sits against the chart and either confirm it or suggest tonally similar alternatives.
④ Bilingual combination set (RM 288)
The bilingual package has one master simultaneously hand-pick both language threads — 3-5 Chinese names plus 3-5 English names — using the baby's Bazi favourable direction as the common backbone. Where the chart and the available character pool allow, the master may also point out imagery or phonetic echoes between the two languages (not every candidate can be forced into such resonance — it depends on chart and word range). This is the most-ordered package for Chinese families because a single naming budget covers both naming threads — a Chinese given name used at home and an English given name used at school or in professional life — at better value than buying the two single-language packages separately.
⑤ Hand-picked by the master · no upsell pressure
The Shun Qian Feng Shui & Metaphysics core commitment is that every candidate name is hand-picked by the master — never algorithmically generated, never random-pulled from a character database. Behind each candidate sits a written reasoning that draws together the Bazi reading, the five-element direction, the stroke arithmetic, the phonetic check, and the etymological note. We also do not upsell ornaments, name seals, or fate-changing products. The master delivers names and analysis; whether you adopt a particular candidate is entirely your decision. If you are not satisfied with the delivered set, you can request one free round of refinement through Facebook Messenger and the master will hand-pick a new round in your preferred direction.
Frequently asked questions
Who is this naming service for?
Three groups. First, expectant parents who want to reserve queue ahead of the birth — the master begins selection once the precise birth time is in hand. Second, new parents still finalising the child's name after birth. Third, families with an existing Chinese name who want to add an English name later. If you are an adult seeking to change your own name — for example a legal or career context — please reach out via Facebook Messenger and we will discuss whether it is a fit.
Do you need the parents' Bazi?
No. We only need the baby's family surname, gender, date of birth — year, month, day, and hour — city of birth, and the parents' names. Parent names are used by the master to screen against the traditional family-name taboo (名讳), ensuring no candidate name shares a character or sound with the parents' given names. The parents' birth charts are not within the scope of this service — the naming reading is centred entirely on the baby's chart.
Do the Chinese names really come with five-element and Kangxi-stroke notes?
Yes. Every Chinese candidate ships with: per-character five-element attribution, total Kangxi stroke count (including the family surname), phonetic structure analysis, character-by-character meaning, and overall semantic interpretation. The master also balances stroke counts between the surname and the given name characters and screens tonal patterns for readability.
What's included with the English names?
Each English candidate comes with etymological root — Greek, Latin, Germanic, Hebrew, or other Western lineage — plus literal meaning, cultural background, and pronunciation notes. For bilingual orders, the master uses the baby's Bazi favourable direction as the common backbone for both languages and may also point out imagery or phonetic echoes where the chart and word pool allow.
Can I request changes if I'm not happy with the candidate names?
Yes — one free round of refinement is included. After you receive the 3-5 candidates on Facebook Messenger and hear the master's walk-through, tell the master which direction you'd like to adjust (e.g. "I'd like the third Chinese character to be in the Wood element instead"), and the master will hand-pick a fresh round.
How is the bilingual combination set different from buying Chinese-only or English-only?
The bilingual combination's core value is that one master hand-picks both languages in parallel, with the baby's Bazi favourable direction as the common backbone; where the chart allows, imagery or phonetic echoes between the two languages are pointed out. If you only need one language, the single-language packages carry the full walk-through on their own; if you need both, the bilingual set at RM 288 is cheaper than RM 296 buying separately and lets one master coordinate both threads.
How long until I receive the names?
Standard turnaround is 5 to 7 business days (peak periods may extend slightly). The countdown starts once your intake is complete. The 3-5 candidates are delivered via Facebook Messenger with the master's walk-through; once you choose, we issue the final naming report PDF for the selected name.
Service flow
- Choose your package: select English-only, Chinese-only, or the bilingual combination on the product page and complete payment to open the file. Full pricing is in the package table below.
- Submit intake: send the baby's family surname, gender, date of birth and hour, city of birth, and parents' names through Facebook Messenger. Parent names are used by the master to screen against the family-name taboo, avoiding any candidate sharing characters or sounds with the parents' names. Tell us any preferences — number of characters, family generation marker, characters to avoid, or English-name style direction. Expectant parents may place the order to reserve queue first and submit the full intake once the baby is born and the precise birth time is known.
- The master hand-picks (5-7 business days): the master casts the chart, reads the five-element direction, and selects 3-5 candidate names.
- Messenger walk-through: the candidates are sent to you on Facebook Messenger, with the master walking you through each one — five-element / Kangxi stroke count / phonetics / etymology / meaning — and you can ask questions or discuss preferences directly in the thread.
- Free refinement round (if needed): if a candidate doesn't feel right, message us the direction you'd like to adjust and the master will hand-pick a fresh round.
- Final naming report PDF: once you choose, we issue a final naming report PDF for the selected name — with the full analysis (five-element / Kangxi stroke count / phonetics / character meaning / overall semantic intent) — as a keepsake and reference.
