Something ending in or using 华 huá (magnificent, flowery, times) might be good. It’s a little more masculine than the flower 花 and could be used in some nice combinations.
Realistically almost all chinese names are multi gendered, I know a guy with a super femenine sounding name with hua flowers in it, he is not femenine at all haha. So if you really like that word you don't have to avoid it-- because almost all chinese names are multi gendered, people don't have an expectation to know the gender based on name. Even if they guess wrongly its not at all weird like it is in english where almost all names are single gendered.
I disagree, many names are gender specific to native speaker. People really have expectation about the gender based on the name, for example, if a person's given name is 強 (strong) and is actually a woman, people will be very surprised.
Many names or words are highly associated with a particular gender for several generations.
When the name is widely used for a certain gender, people will think it is a bit weird to use it for the opposite gender. At least they they will say "oh, I thought you were a man/woman because of your name!"
But of course, their are also some gender-neutral name that can be used for both gender.
I agree with you. However that expectation of the gendered name is not the same as english expectation. People will be suprised but they won't think you are a freak of nature for having the name, they still accept "oh, I really though this would be a woman//man, but its not." And women or men with the names you mention do exist, I know some myself. That simply is not a thing in english, 90% of names are gendered period.
So yeah masculing femenine sounding names in chinese absolutely. But male female names set in stone no.
If you dont mind, it would be nice to know your actual name and its meaning (if any), cuz that way people could either associate the close phonetic or the similar meaning into creating the chinese name, just to make it extra personal and special. In term of "hua", there are a few phonetically similar but isnt as direct or as feminine as 花 (flower), like: 桦 or 华. With that being said, here are a few of my favourite:
子衿 （derive from poetry 青青子衿 悠悠我心）\
景宇（to admire the beauty of the universe)\
天佑（blessed by sky/god)\
展博（expand/arise/growth in a very full/rich/immense way, usually refer to the wish to one’s knowledge and future)
In that case, you can also use the word 朗 or 乐 in your name. 朗 in itself means bright, but the term 开朗 also means joyful. 乐 is joy or happy, both of these are also good and common male name. They can be used as a single syllable name on their own, or you can make it the usual 2 letters name too, off the top of my head, I can think of 日朗，天朗，子乐， 乐然（might be little on the feminine side, but can be used as gender neutral too), all of these mean bright/joyful etc.
Btw if you dont might choosing a new last name for you chinese name, you can totally use "hua" as your last name to pair with any of those, a common last name hua would be the word 华, but if you like the word 花, that could potentially be a last name too

Thanks I'll think about it then!
My Chinese name is Yu Lanhua (玉兰花）and I’m a girl. I’ve met other girls with hua in their name too.
Is that related to my comment? I'm a little confused since I was talking about 华 (which is also a different tone).
