Chinese pet name

Chinese pet name

In Chinese communities, people choose Chinese pet names often based on the pet's physical characteristics. The adjective "little" (Chinese: 小, pinyin: xiǎo) is added in front of the physical characteristic, creating an effect equivalent to adding "little" to "John" resulting in "Little John" or "Johnny." See the following table for common Chinese pet names.
