Yep, I changed it back to 帝木 partly because of Thomas' comment but mainly because these are two characters that I can actually recognise.
I am actually planning on changing it again in the future. A lot of Chinese people end up with quite random names - Titanic, male, and Hideaway, female, are two that I met. So, I want to come up with a random Chinese name. That is actually much harder than it sounds because most real Chinese names are quite random. But it is possible: a guy in my class in Beijing called himself Kung Fu. That's a great effort. But I would have to know a lot more Chinese to be able to come up with anything good, so I'll stick with 帝木 for the time being.
OK you can go about your business now...

What's the Chinese translation of 'thusness'?
Hey, good idea…
'Thus' seems to be 因而 (yin er) or 因此 (yin ci).
Translating back:
因而 = therefore, as a result, thus, and as a result.
因此 = that is why, for that reason, therefore, for this reason. Or: so, therefore, consequently, thus.
如此 (ru ci) has a similar meaning: thus, in this way, so.
I think 如此 could be the winner…
