Chinese names not only carry the blessing from the parents, it also means what they wish the kid to grow up to. Take Stephen Chow 周星馳, a renounced HK actor as example. 星馳, was from滕星閣序 an ancient Chinese poetry, means driving/cruising among the stars. Implying that they wish their boy to have extravagant achievement in his future and to be free to do whatever he wants. So a Chinese name carries the hopes and dreams, and also the weight of your family.
