Recently, I want to choose a suitable English name for myself, but I don't know much about the English name and some of the culture. In order to get a more formal name, I even searched a lot of articles on the Internet about getting an English name. Finally, I feel that the following article is the most suitable for me. I believe this article will be of great help to netizens who want to take an English name, so I turned it over. (At the end of the article, there are 4 websites that take English names online)
Question 1. The English name is too common
The first problem is that the English names are too common, such as: Henry, Jane, John, Mary. This is like Zhao Zhiwei, Wang Xiaogang, Chen Ping when foreigners are named, which gives people a far-fetched feeling. There are no set rules for naming names, but the feel is important.
Question 2. Do not understand cultural differences and make taboos
In addition, due to cultural differences, some names are indecent, such as: Cat, Kitty, which is very indecent in English slang. Cat should be changed to Cathy, Kitty should be changed to Kate.
Question 3. Change your name and surname
Generally speaking, people from non-English speaking countries may change their names when they arrive in the United States, but not their surnames. This is related to family honor, and it will also be related to genetics in the future. So, no matter how difficult your last name is to pronounce, stick to it. It is common for people to change their surnames when they take their English names, such as Situ Jian, Ken Stone, Xiao Yan, and Yan Shaw. The following English surnames are acceptable, but preferably not used, such as: Young Yang, Lee Lee.
Question 4, English name and surname homophony
Some people are called by many people because of their surnames, so they have an English name that is homophonic to their surname. But such an English name is called Shang Ke alone, and the full name is not very natural, such as: Xiao Shan Shawn Xiao, Zhong Qi Jone Zhong, Zhou Xun Joe Zhou, An Xin Anne An.
Question 5. Do not understand grammar and use wrong parts of speech
Names are generally nouns, not adjectives. Some people don't understand this rule and use adjectives to name them, such as Lucky, which is not actually an English name.
Problem 6. Using the wrong gender
Occasionally, people get the gender wrong, such as women named Andy, Daniel.
So how do you come up with an English name? Here are some suggestions for you:
Method 1. The English name should preferably be pronounced the same as the Chinese name, such as:
Lily Zheng
June Yang
Lena Kong
Ally Zhang
Moon Lu
Zhang BoBob Zhang
Caron Xu
Lisa Jiang
Jill Wang
David Jiang
Irene Zhang
Li Bin Ben Li
Method 2. If the first item cannot be achieved, strive for the same partial pronunciation of the English name and the Chinese name, such as:
Jet Li
Nicholas Tse Tim Xie
Hou Dejian James Hou
Sam Xu
Lynn Zhu
May Wang
Jane Wu
Sandy Wu
Related Helen Guan
Method 3. If neither of the above two can be done, the English name and the Chinese name can be pronounced as close or related as possible, such as:
Fanny Chen
Sharon Li
Susan Wang
Zhou Jian Jason Zhou
Catherine Luo
Diane Dong
Vincent Cui
Tracy Li
Hunter Huang
Maple Shen Maple Shen
Fountain Liu
Method 4. Free translation
In addition, free translation is also a good choice.
Stellar Wang
Li Bing Ice Li
Tiger Yuan
Qi Tian Sky Qi
Cloud Bai
Liu Changhe River Liu
Apple Chen
In short, when choosing an English name, try to have a connection with your Chinese name, so that people feel that this is you. Of course, if you really can't find the corresponding English name, you can only do it. After all, there are no set rules for naming names.
