For an open presentation, vitality can live in a field, a green plain, or the first light of the day. 新禾 and 青原 are concrete landscapes; 初阳 and 春和 are atmospheric; 予春 gives spring a personal, giving gesture. These choices favor living scenes over declarations of achievement, while still sounding different from one another.
These are complete editorial suggestions for adults choosing their own Chinese name: a surname followed by a two-character given name. Keep your existing Chinese surname if you have one. The style label describes our impression of the full name, not a restriction on who may use it.

A plant name makes growth visible; a light name offers atmosphere. Think about the image you would happily explain in an ordinary introduction, including on a quiet day. Say the full name with your own surname and compare the characters in the script you use. These are life-affirming meanings, rather than predictions about health or constant energy.
