The character 俊 is particularly favored, implying both physical attractiveness and intellectual excellence. In Japanese, Jun (純) can also mean "pure".”

Yue
Chinese · “A Chinese given name written most commonly as 月 meaning "moon", or 悦 meaning "joyful" or "pleased". The moon (月) holds a singular place in Chinese culture — the Mid-Autumn Festival is centered on it, and it is the dominant symbol in Chinese poetry of longing, reunion, and the passage of time. Li Bai's famous lines about seeing the moon and thinking of home have made 月 one of the most emotionally loaded images in the Chinese poetic tradition.”
Zhi
Chinese · “A Chinese given name written as 智 meaning "wisdom" or "intelligence", or 志 meaning "will", "aspiration", or "ambition". The character 智 is one of the five Confucian virtues (alongside benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and trustworthiness), making it a name of considerable moral and philosophical weight. 志 (will/aspiration) connects to the Chinese concept of zhizhi — the cultivation of firm intention.”
Bin

The concept of en (恩) is central to the Chinese social order: one is bound by debts of grace and obligated to repay them. In a naming context, En expresses a parent's love as a gift to be received and reciprocated.”
Sheng
“A Chinese given name written as 盛 meaning "flourishing", "prosperous", or "grand", or 胜 meaning "victory" or "to surpass".

This seasonal metaphor gives the name a touch of elegance alongside its aspirational power.”
Qiu
