question
kanji pronunciation names
How do I read 青水庵 as a name?
I read it `[青水庵]{せいすいあん}` if there's no hint.

But, I googled this name and found an
[illustrator](http://aomizuan.sakura.ne.jp/) (NSFW) who calls himself
`[青水庵]{あおみずあん}`.

## Why I read せいすいあん first?

`庵` can be read as either `あん` and `いおり`. In case of this, since `庵` occurs
directly after other kanji in a group, the general rule is to read all kanji
using the Chinese pronunciation ([音読]{おんよ}み) in general. e.g.
[吉兆庵](https://www.kitchoan.co.jp/site/) (きっちょうあん)
