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 Chinese name is 韩婉夏 and all my Chinese friends think it's very pretty. 韩 didn't get much thought, because that is one of my surnames, but when it comes to 婉夏...

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...

[@demrasnawla]

My Chinese name I came up with recently (with the help of friends) is 鲁肃 (鲁棒的鲁，肃然的肃), after the noble, charitable, and wise strategist of the Wu kingdom - a man who I aspire to be like. Also since my name is Sarmed Alwan, Su and Lu sound reminisicent of my name.

I don't like my given English name and I don't have a Chinese teacher to give me a name. So I chose a name based off of my favorite historical figure and my favorite fictional character.

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]

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.

[@mfinchina__117]

I have a name that is hard for most Americans to spell and pronounce (I'm American too), and when I studied Chinese my teacher gave me the name 羅卉思. It took me like a semester to learn how to write it. Then I moved to mainland China, where it's 罗卉思, but come to find out tons of people either don't know how to read or write the middle character, even though it's so simple! It seems like it's my destiny to have a hard to write or pronounce name. (I have a bank account that ended up being for "罗奔思," got X-rays at the hospital for "罗寒思" ... the list goes on ...)

[@LearningWithEkaterina]

My name is Ekaterina which originally means "pure" and my Chinese name is 罗清莹 because of the similar meaning. But my Chinese friends call me Kā tè （咖特）because it is closer to my English name Kate.

My Chinese teacher gave me the name 张文琪 but I'm not sure what it means

[@solerhongkong]

surname 张 zhāng - formal Chinese surname (ranking 24) 文 Wén - language , culture, writing, formal, literary, gentle 琪 Qí - fine jade. It's definitely a good name for girl.

[@takenoko8248]

Not bad

My name is 黑云杉. It is the closest translation of black spruce, which is my favorite tree. I have had people sometimes just call me 黑云 which sounds 可爱 in my opinion

Thank you for this helpful video. I'm a new student of Mandarin and am looking for a Chinese name. I looked at the your pdf and I chose 白 as a surname (my Danish surname is Bak). I have two given names, Said (sa-īd) and Allan. The surname + given name combination ideas I came up with are: 1. 白尚文 2. 白学德 3. 白哲德 4. 白学文 Are any of these good sounding names or do you have a better suggestion? 谢谢

[@benseac]

My Chinese name is 夏奔. I chose 夏 as it's somewhat similar in sound to the first syllable of my last name ("sea"). I chose 奔 as "Ben" is the shortened form of my first name and having a character that already has that pronunciation was pretty nice. :)

[@solerhongkong]

夏 Summer 奔 run quickly Run quickly in Summer is HOT

[@functioninghotmess8620]

Is 愛心暖 a good Chinese name for Dianne Laurent

[@Ahreigh]

Any suggestions for the name Hailey?

[@OhL96s]

My real name is Olga, and I've chosen 奥嘉 as my Chinese name, but I'd like to receive a feedback on it because I'm not sure about how it would sound to a native speaker. I've seen 嘉 used before in girls' names, but I'm not sure about 奥. I wanted to have a sort of closeness to the sound of my name, and that was the closest it sounded to me.

[@whoareyou9218]

奥嘉aojia，奥 profound

[@jasonconley4130]

What about the name Jason? I’ve had friends call me 杰森 before but I don’t think this has any meaning

[@mroawa7767]

It is a localisation of Jason...mostly seen as Chinese version of Jason(jie sen) rather than a meaningful combinations of characters, although it could be argued that the 杰 could be from 杰出

[@jasonconley4130]

mroaw a 谢谢哈！

My Chinese name is 蔡尤雅 (family name: Cai/Chua).. Historically, Chinese-Indonesians were not allowed to have Chinese name officially due to the New Order Era. Therefore, we have to use non-Chinese names. Since many still want to use the Chinese family name for the last name, we would have to modify our name so it doesn't sound "Chinese". For example: 'Chua' will be modified into Chuaniago, Chuadri, Chuarsa..etc.. 'Tan' will be modified into Tanadi, Tanuwijaya, Tandri, etc. "Wong" will be modified into Wongso, Wongsonegoro, etc. 'Lim' will be modified into Limarta, Limasi, Halim, Salim, etc...and many more.

[@joshuachaniago__1206]

Marga gw 蔡 juga, nama indo gw jadi chaniago wkwkkwwk

[@KeiraChua]

@@joshuachaniago__1206 Hahha.. sama ya.. gw jadi Chuarsa.. Cuma org Chinese-Indonesians nih yang bisa mengerti konteks ini wkwkkwkw...
