<p>Is there a list of common Chinese first names? There are some lists containing top 100 names but it is quite insufficient as it covers only 15% of total population. I need a comprehensive list.</p>

如果是given name的话，可能要让题主失望了……因为中国人起名字有很多讲究的，自己的生辰八字配合，还要趋吉避凶，还要做到“六忌一便于”。（六忌：一忌太易重名，二忌不辨性别，三忌谐音不雅，四忌充满稚气，五忌花枝招展，六忌一字多音；一便于：便于书写和认读，避免太生僻的字。）最好要有比较积极的寓意，有的在自己家族中有严格的字辈。所以想统计比较完整的会比较困难……

I don't think there's an official account for the top 1000 most used first names. But here is an interesting statistic I've found.

**In this image, it says the top 10 most used first names are:**

英(ying)，华(hua)，玉(yu)，秀(xiu)，文(wen)，明(ming)，兰(lan)，金(jin)，国(guo)，春(chun).

I think its pretty accurate tbh.
