Any two characters can be combined at the parents' whim. 64.40.43.54 07:06, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That is not much different from English, where parents can create fanciful names by combining elements of existing names; if such names were to occur with a CFI-worthy number of citations, we would include them. bd2412 T 12:25, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Strongly agree. Is there any reason to delete these? That's what this page is for, after all. Renard Migrant (talk) 16:35, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No consensus to delete. bd2412 T 15:40, 25 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I'm sure most Chinese editors would agree with the anon above and the one who requested last time that Chinese given names are just a combination of any two characters (or even any character for one-character given names). — justin(r)leung (t...) | c=› } 04:27, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Honestly would only be useful for transcriptions of foreign names, but those don't use {{given name}}. —AryamanA (मुझसे बात करेंयोगदान) 00:24, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
