Tips

culture
轩 has been one of the most overused boys'-name characters in mainland China for a generation — names like 子轩, 浩轩, 宇轩 became so popular in the 2000s that Chinese netizens jokingly listed 轩 (along with 涵, 怡, 萱) as 'overpowered baby-name characters'. In old usage, 轩 was a fancy carriage or scenic pavilion.
