饶石

Explanation:
饶石(rao2 shi2)

This is a translation I made up, not in any dictionary.
“饶” means rich or abundant. It is also a Chinese family name.
“石”means stone. It is a favorable word for man's name.
The three word you asked made a perfect sentence : “饶石爱妲媚。” Simple, nice and very Chinese. Is that what you mean?

罗思坦（luo2si1tan3)

Explanation:
the first character is a sirname of Chinese people.
The 2nd means: think, thoughtful
The 3rd means: evenness, frankness

I think it's a good name for a man, quite meaningful. Don't you think so?

Could I have his complete name please?

Explanation:
I need his complete name, with first and surname. I usually give an American a Chinese sounding name instead of a phonetically derived polysyllabic "un Chinese" name.

If his surname is Raulston, I'd only use the first syllable phonetically. It would be "Ru ....", (as in Mr. Ru.)
The name "Ru" belongs to the 100 Chinese surname list.

Then I would give him the rest of his name based on his first name, making up two more phonetic sounds, with meaning to sound similar to his first name. Example: If his first name is "David", then I'd use "Da Wei". It means big and brave.

I will also send you the Chinese characters under separate cover. Email me his first name.
