Dear Friends,
When I was in Beijing a few years ago, my friends took me to have a personal name seal made by a "chop" carver. There was some discussion about which Chinese characters should be used, and I believe we finally settled on Ke-Li-Se or something like that. Now I wish I had asked what those characters represent in Chinese. I fear that they might mean something like "the one who carries the garbage out to the field" or "the village sex maniac". If there is a Chinese language specialist out there who can help me, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Yours truly,
