度（du）
Name meaning
度 (du) means measure, proportion, breadth and tolerant bearing. In naming it reads as judgment and scale with restraint, not calculation alone.
Practical naming use
度 (du) is a measure-and-breadth character. It gives a name proportion, tolerance and disciplined range, so the result feels balanced rather than dry. It is especially useful for cultural depth, classical or literary reference, personality image, because the character can carry a recognizable Chinese image without becoming empty dictionary filler. The best results come when the second character adds human direction, warmth, restraint or breadth, so the full given name feels lived-in rather than generic.
Pair 度 (du) with characters such as 安 (an) for settled measure, 明 (ming) for lucid judgment, 宁 (ning) for calm breadth or 文 (wen) for cultivated proportion. The second character should keep the name measured without making it technical.
度明 (Duming): Du contributes measure, breadth; Ming adds brightness, clarity.
