Popularity shifts by generation, but poetic characters like 诗 (Shī, poetry), 涵 (Hán, cultivated) and 雨 (Yǔ, rain) stay near the top year after year. This page ranks the full list by how often names are picked in our generator.
Both words mean the same thing here. Chinese names put the surname first, so the "first name" in Western order is actually the given name (名 míng) written last — every name on this list is a female given name ready to combine with any surname.
