Does the repetition mean emphasis in name, as in ordinary Chinese speech
and writing?


'liang jing jing' is a Chinese collocation with 'liang' meaning
'bright'. The repetition is an emphasis in the phrase, but it's more
about the resonance in a name. In Chinese, Guo JIngjing sounds more
adorable than Guo Jing, while Zheng Jie ('clean') sounds more natural
than Zheng Jiejie because 'jie jie' aren't frequently used together.
