Tips

usage
碧茜 transliterates English 'Betsy/Bessie/Becky': (bì, 'jade green') approximates the 'Be-' onset and takes its phonetic loan reading xī (used specifically in foreign-name transliteration; the everyday reading of is qiàn, 'madder red'). Together they form a name that reads 'Bìxī' — close enough to 'Betsy/Bessie' and visually pretty (jade + madder).
mistakes
Don't read as qiàn here; in personal-name transliterations it always reads xī (e.g. 露茜 Lucy, Antsy).
