How do you pronounce the character "绻" in Cantonese? Can it be used as a name?

绻cyu5

The Cantonese pronunciation is the same as "chu" for "saving". It sounds like "qu" in Mandarin.

"Zu" means cloth woven from ramie fiber.

It is OK to use it as a name. Because there are six taboos in naming in ancient China:

Not based on country; not based on official; not based on mountains and rivers; not based on hidden diseases; not based on animals; not based on utensils and coins.

However, there are no such strict regulations now. As long as the name has a good meaning and is auspicious, then there is no problem.
