My adopted Chinese name is 白志宁. I chose 白 because it starts with a "b" sound and although I found some other names closer in pronunciation to my surname on the hundred names list, my teacher at the time said that they weren't used as surnames now, so this would confuse people. For my given name, I chose 志宁 as I like the meaning and I wanted something that starts with a "j" or "zh" sound. Rather interestingly, one of my fellow classmates (in a class of seven people) also wanted to choose this name, but I was the first to complete my homework that week (choosing our own Chinese names if we didn't have them already so we could practice "spelling" them to our classmates), so my classmate now has a different Chinese name.

My name's 米永盛. I chose "Mi" as surname because that's the first syllable of my real surname and "Yongsheng" because it means "forever prosperous". My name in Spanish means "victorious", so I thought that was a good idea.

Hi: what an interesting point of departure! Indeed, when I taught English, I'd always find an equivalent in English just so native speakers could remember and pronounce the name - otherwise, the person would never be accepted and recognized by them. Hence, I can imagine how my name might be equally off putting. So I'd be interested in something that would be recognisable and sympathetic to native Chinese speakers. So let's see if you can help me...

I do not like the transliteration of my name, and since my last name is now already 李，(I use my husband's last name because mine would be way too long，if I was not married, I would still choose Li because of my nickname) My real name begins with a "J" and so my husband named me "李洁"。He did so not only because of his perception of me, but because it also closely sounds like my name. I love it, but I love ALL Chinese names, both male and female. I had no idea one of my most favorite teachers had this name. I kind of feel honored now to share a name with such a smart, beautiful person. 🙂❤

My parents gave me 林志杰 at birth But I when changed my english name from Jack to John, so I decided it would be relevant to change my Chinese name as well to 林至傑 It's pronounced the same and carries nearly the same meaning...which is kind of parallel to the names of Jack and John having the same meaning. That being said, I think it would be interesting if you would do a video about the different types of names in Chinese: Courtesy Names, Artistic Names, Posthumous names, etc. I've read up on them because I have an interest in my cultural history, but as an ABC I don't get sufficient insight to the how/why of these names. I just remember being very confused when reading about historical figures who are referenced by multiple names. Stuff like 曹操 (Cao Cao) having a courtesy name of 孟德 (Meng de) was very confusing to me when I went through Ro3K. I was also confused by Bruce Lee, because his actual name is 李振藩 (Lee Jun Fan), but he goes by 李小龍 (Lee Xiao Long). Would that be considered a Courtesy Name or a Stage/Art name?

@chrisbach1533 9 ай бұрын

Speaking about confusions: I realized many people have a tendency to ignore hyphens all together. So if you want to be sure, spell the name (like Bruce Lee's chinese name 李振藩) either Junfan or JunFan, no space, no hyphen, and anyone will understand its one name. Jun-Fan could look for western ppl like a double-barrelled given name (like Anna-Marie). And Jun Fan looks like two seperate names. If a westerner reads Jun Fan Lee, he will think Fan is a middle name and only Jun the given name. Junfan or JunFan makes 100% clear its one name.

My name in chinese is 达维娜 and while I like the meaning of the individual characters, I feel as thought I am lacking with it. I had a teacher when I was younger who gave me a chinese name, and wrote it down for me, but I can't recognize the characters. Those are what I would prefer to use, since it was given to me before.

My dad worked with a businessman from China for a little while when I was young. He picked out Chinese names for my little brother and me that sound like our English names. He picked 哈利 for me, which sounds like my given name, Harley. I think if I had to pick my own though, I would go with 欢乐 if it doesn't actually mean something weird 哈哈.

My name's Lena, which means "the bright" or "lightful" and is a short for Helena or Magdalena, but I've been using 莱娜 for my Chinese class. My teacher thought 林娜 would be more fitting, but I really like that little durable plant that 莱 refers to, so I stuck with that. I just wished there were a nice sign for that -na sound, I know that's one that it's one to kinda define a name ending with na as female, but I never liked how the character looked ^^'. My family's names already 5 syllables long and when "translating" them into Hanzi I ended up with 7 signs, so for the homework we had to translate them, I dropped 6 and stuck with just Han (I don't remember which character I chose, though), which is the syllable my name starts with, too :)

My name is rather difficult to get a good translation comparison of. My last name means to cushion - so I chose 戴 (Dài: The surname has its origin from a word which means, “to support.”) My first name, however, means pearl, but can also be used in other languages to mean daisy. So, I picked 花 (Huā: Meaning "flower, blossom") 戴花. Though, when I put that in Google translate, it translates to wear flowers. -laughs- I did, briefly, consider the name 凰, instead of 花. 凰 (Huáng: Meaning "phoenix"). The reason I'd considered 凰 is because the phoenix is one of my favorite mythical creatures. That is, also, the reason I think it might not be a good idea to use it. I don't know if either is good, though.
