my chinese radicals

i'm getting quite conscious about my chinese name these days.
especially, how does it sound in japanese kanji?

i found out that my surname, XU (3) is pronounced as "MOTO" in Japanese.

so, Motorola, I guess I *do* Moto after all!!

Here is the page on "Xu (3)" or "Moto":

The second radical in my name is SHENG (4) and... i think it is pronounced as "Katsu Masaru"...

Here is the reference page:

And the third is.... JIE (2) ... which is pronounced as "Sugureru"...

Hmmm, I'm a bit confused.
But here is the page anyways.

Hmmm... nice spot.


Does this belong to a man or a woman?



This one belongs to a wommynn...

Maybe it's time to get my Chinese-ness in gear.
I am after all 100% chinese.
