<p>I wanted to see if I could get some help picking out a my name since I'm at day 1 of learning Chinese. I really wanted to stick to what it sounds phonetically and came up with as my given name 布兰地霖, and as my surname 忒漓.<br />
Is it weird? Is is feminine enough for a woman? Should I go back to the drawing board? Any help and suggestions is much appreciated!</p>

Just some general considerations when the Chinese chose names in the old days. It goes beyond just sounding nice. https://chinese.stackexchange.com/questions/35844/how-can-i-make-a-two-character-chinese-girls-name-perhaps-using-%e9%9d%99/35856#35856

With a name like Brandonlyn I'm guessing you are American. The surname Terry identifies you as the heiress apparent to Terry's Chocolate Empire.

The B suggests using 白, snowy, white pure. But that is a surname in China.

So now you are 白兰琳: White Orchidgem

Happy New Year, 白兰琳女士！
