The meaning of my partner's name--Dhanu Agung Prayogo

My partner's full name is Dhanu Agung Prayogo. Dhanu is surname. Agung means big in Javanese language,and Prayogo means kind-hearted in Javanese language.So his whole name means he has a big kind heart. But my partner doesn't think he has that kind of heart.
Indonesian give a baby name by giving prayers and the name implicits parents' expectation. So the baby can grow up and be a good person in the future that is all parents' expectations.According to the Indonesian people, name is a pray, so it is really important that baby's name can bring goodluck.
And Taiwanese give baby name that we will search in the Zu table or go to the fortune teller and ask him which name is best for the baby.

Hi Wuwunyu.. I'm Ryka..
You're right.. In Indonesia naming a baby is very important,,because a name is mean a hope..
Is there any other way for naming a baby in Taiwan without go to fortune teller??
And is there family name in Taiwanese people's name??

Hello Ryka^^
There is another way I heard is that parents choose one word from each name and combine the two words together.
Our last name(family name) usually follow our father' last name.For example, my father's last name is 吳, and my name is "吳"文郁.
We put family name at begining and given name at behind.

Zu table is like a book and in it you can see all your family ties; for my family, our Zu table is very thick because we are
a big family.
