Graduation is not only the end of school. It is the year someone chooses a direction, leaves home, starts work or moves country. A Chinese name gives that transition something personal to carry forward.

A gift that marks the next chapter

For an 18th birthday or graduation, the most flexible gift is a Chinese name report. We create two candidates, explain every character, and let the recipient choose the one that feels right. It can stop there as a digital gift, or continue into an A3 calligraphy print, a framed piece, or an engraved seal.

The name should not be a literal translation. It should sound natural in Chinese, carry a meaning worth keeping, and be easy to explain when someone asks. That is why every name is written and checked by a person, not generated from a list.

Three useful graduation gift levels

• $19–$29 digital: a complete Chinese-name report or name-and-meaning card sent by email.
• $59–$88 print: confirm the name, then turn it into an A3 calligraphy print for a dorm room, study or first apartment.
• $99–$149 gift set: combine the name, print and a compact engraved seal, then add a handwritten card and gift presentation.

Class of 202X and graduation-year wording

Use the notes field to tell us the graduation year, school or milestone. We can include the year in the explanatory card or keep the artwork timeless. We do not print school logos or trademarks.

When the recipient needs to choose

A personal name works best when the recipient chooses between the two candidates. If the gift must be ready in advance, buy the digital naming service first and send it as a gift card. The recipient can redeem the details and then upgrade to a print or seal before the deadline.

Frequently asked questions

Can you finish before graduation?

Digital names usually take 2–3 working days after details are complete. Prints and seals need another 5–10 working days plus shipping. Start at least six weeks before a fixed ceremony date.

Can I order without knowing their gender preference?

Yes. Leave the direction as “Let the artist decide” and we will explain the reasoning behind both candidates.

Will the recipient understand the Chinese name?

Yes. Every character, pronunciation and overall meaning is explained in English.
