1. Changing the name to an English name based on the Chinese pronunciation
Giving an English name based on the Chinese name is one of the most commonly used English naming methods for many Hong Kong and Taiwan celebrities, employees of foreign-funded companies and overseas Chinese. Choosing English names based on Chinese names can also be subdivided into: choosing English names based on the pronunciation of the entire name, based on the pronunciation of one of the characters, and based on similar homophonic methods. Such as: Lily Chen; Bowie Lin; Dennie Yang.
2. Changing the name to an English name based on the meaning of the Chinese name
Changing the name to an English name based on the meaning of the Chinese name can be divided into two types: "literal translation" or "free translation" based on the Chinese name. The former is to match English names with the same meaning based on the literal meaning. Such as: Lu Yi Joy; Zou Ying Shadow; Lu Yuchun April; Cheng Sheng Victor; Teng Xiaoqing Ivy.
The latter chooses synonymous or near-synonymous English names based on the meaning or extended meaning of the Chinese name, such as: Xiwang Hope; Ding Yu Jade; Jiang Ziqiong Violet; Yang Yang Sunny.
