I love this style of nameplate! I was somehow able to resist trying to ring the bell. The name 相内 is usually read Aiuchi or Ainai, with the possibility of Anai, Shōnai, Sōnai, or Sōuchi. And both characters are super useful!
相 is read あい (which you can remember because of the 目 eye radical), ソウ, or ショウ. It means mutual, inter-, together, each other, or aspect.
内 is read うち, ナイ, or ダイ. It means inside, within, between, among, or house/home. Remember the opposite pair of 内・外 [うち・そと], meaning inside and outside, or in-group and out-group. Also, 内回り [うちまわり] and 外回り [そとまわり]: clockwise and counterclockwise.

Let's do a name with some familiar characters! The surname 相京 is read Aikyō.
相 (ai, sō, or shō) means mutual, inter-, together, each other, or aspect. We had a streak of names using this character a while back, so check out the 相 tag for some good vocab and facts.
You probably remember 京 from yesterday, but it means capital and it can be read miyako, kyō, kei, or kin. Fun fact: if you add it to the fish radical 魚, you get 鯨 (kujira or gei), meaning whale, because whales are the president of fish.

⚠️ I am not chinese, so if any chinese person in the fandom wants to add something or just point out any mistake, please do ⚠️
I've seen people in the fandom call Macaque's smoke monster 'kaiju', but this is not a correct denomination.
It is better to call it "法相" (fa3 xiang4), meaning "image of (commonly Buddha)"
"佛教术语,指诸法之相状,包含体相(本质)与义相(意义)二者"
Trans.
"A Buddhist term that refers to the appearance of all dharmas, including both physical appearance (essence) and righteousness (significance)"
Following this definition, a 法相 is your true self, your essence, both physical and spiritual... meaning that Smokey (little guy) is not a 'kaiju'. It is an essence, Macaque's.
Same goes to all manifestations of characters who have a version of their 法相, it's their true essence.
Yes, you got it right! This little (not so little) guy is also a 法相.
(Don't call them 'kaiju', please).
Just to add, they can also be called 'war forms', since they appear in the original jttw.
