## What it is
A web application that generates Chinese baby names by combining characters from classical texts like the Book of Songs, Chu Ci, Tang poems, and Song lyrics, preserving the original verse citations. It offers favorites, JSON import/export, and shareable name cards in a responsive React/TypeScript interface.

## Use cases
- generate baby names from classical Chinese poetry
- find a name with poetic origin and citation
- save and export favorite name candidates as JSON
- create shareable cards with the source poem and QR code
- browse names from Shijing, Chuci, Tang and Song poetry

## When to choose
- you want Chinese names drawn from classical literature with verifiable sources
- you need a free, no-login web tool with local favorites and backup export

## When to avoid
- you need names from non-Chinese languages or cultures
- you want an API or programmatic name generation rather than a web UI
