Why these aren't the passport spelling. Government transliteration (迈克尔 for Michael) is fixed by rule and optimized for paperwork. The options above are chosen names — every character selected for meaning, tone flow and gender fit, the way Chinese speakers pick names for themselves.

About the name Roy

Roy is a traditionally masculine given name. In Chinese social settings — WeChat, university classes, business cards — having a crafted name like the options above reads far better than a raw transliteration, because every character carries meaning your Chinese friends can immediately appreciate.

Roy is not a particularly common name in China, so Chinese speakers may not have strong immediate associations with it. The Chinese version 若伊 (ruò yī) carries a gentle, feminine impression due to the character 伊, which traditionally evokes elegance and softness—this creates a softer, more delicate feel than the original name's strong, regal connotation ("king"). For someone named Roy, using 若伊 may result in others expecting a more refined, gentle personality.
