> I have never seen a Chinese name that's just two consonants and ZERO vowels.

One difference is in Mandarin pinyin vs other stuff

Like in Mandarin pinyin 子 turns into zi, but a lot of Cantonese transliterations will have it as tsz.

(Notably, not the more "official" Cantonese transliterations, where it would be written as zi or ji)

It is still pretty rare though, yea. I can't even think of others off the top of my head
