Tips

usage
Phonetic transliteration: 贝 (bèi, 'shell') for the 'Bay/Bai' syllable, 莉 (lì, jasmine) — a character almost exclusively used in feminine names — for '-ley/-lee'. Often used for the surname/given name Bailey; American singer-actress Halle Bailey (the 2023 Little Mermaid) is rendered 哈莉·贝莉 in mainland press.
memory
贝 = shell (precious thing), 莉 = jasmine (flower for girls' names). The combination signals a feminine Western name — a flower-named seashell.
