The dialogue in domestic white-collar circles, especially in foreign business circles, is basically like this:
And in the study abroad circle, it is often like this: < /p>
However, many English names that we feel good about have become jokes in the eyes of foreigners. Let’s take a look at the English names that are weird in their eyes!
Maybe you have also been hit by the English names complained by crooked netizens
So which minefields are we must be aware of? What about avoidance? Next, let Bambi tell everyone.
There is a pit ahead, please go around it
1. Numbers: Seven, One, Five...
Now this one is called Seven, and that one is called Eleven. Is there just a convenience store called Seven-Eleven (7-11)?
At this time, someone will jump out and say, Beckham’s daughter Xiaoqi is also called Seven, what’s wrong with it. If you are Xiaoqi, good-looking and a winner in life, your name is one two three four five, which is all OK.
2. Fruits and food: Apple, Lemon, Chocolate...
In addition, there are banana, coconut, etc., I don’t want apple Sorry, please, please check the meaning of the word before naming your baby.
The word Apple has an extended meaning of sin and desire in European and American culture. In the Bible, Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden because they ate the forbidden fruit (apple).
There is also Chocolate. How much does your child love eating chocolate? Don’t you feel that when you eat chocolate, it feels like you are eating your own child?
3. Animals: Cat, Dog, Dolphin...
I thought that when I went to the city, I would finally have a high-end English name. . Unexpectedly, he was suddenly knocked back to his original shape.
It seems like I have returned to the days when I was called Ergouzi by everyone in the village. Mom, what about the promise of going international and going all over the world?
4. Month and weather: May, Sunny, Cloudy...
Parents can sometimes be very casual about which month they were born. The baby is given an English name corresponding to the month. I have to admire the efficiency of the parents.
Combined with the blue sky, white clouds, sun, cloudy days, rainy days... these all together, I think we can open a weather forecast bureau. All the 24 festivals will be taken care of by you.
5. Fairy tales: Cinderella, Snowhite...
Maybe parents have seen some articles saying that they can use American dramas or English Some of the character names in the show were English names, so I mistakenly thought that they could be from fairy tales.
I can only tell you that fairy tales are all lies...don't be fooled! Imagine there are people around you named "Nezha", "Princess Iron Fan", "Cinderella"...
6. Special industry names: Cherry, Sweety, Honey... …
Many people turn to an English dictionary when choosing an English name. Girls like to find some cute and well-behaved words as English names, but if these words with beautiful meanings are used as personal names, the meaning will completely change.
The most common words are Cherry (cherry), Candy (candy), Crystal (crystal), etc. These words have good meanings, but in Western countries they are generally engaged in special industries. A stage name used by women (such as nightclub strippers).
There is no professional discrimination here, but when interacting with people, these names will make the other person think about it. Similar ones include Cissy and Sissy. They are too girly, so please discard them altogether.
The following "Common Names for Strippers" will clear up the minefields for everyone, so don't step on minefields when choosing names later.
If you are still not sure whether your name is a scam, search "Stripper Names" to avoid it if you can. . .
7. Brand names: Chanel, Gucci, ....
Don’t laugh, some people really call themselves that. Gucci. It is said that he came to study abroad when he was very young. His English was not good and others could not pronounce his Chinese name, so he grabbed a bag. From today on, I will call it this bag!
However, for foreigners, this is like someone calling "Head and Shoulders", "Liu Shen toilet water", "Yakult", you know.
8. Chinese literal translation: Wanking, Shiting...
There is a friend named Wang Ying, whose Chinese name is also It's quite normal, it feels like being king, but the English name is Wanking. . . .
There is also a girl named Shiting who is petite and cute, but her English name is Shiting... When she introduced herself, she said, "Hi guys, I'm Shiting.. ............."? Forget it, if I keep talking, the whole article will have a smell.
There is also King Kong’s English name, and Kong Yoo’s English name must not be Kong yo, yo yo check now! Li Mingshi is called Let Me See. Dai Ying is called Dying. . .
9. Celebrity names: Harry Potter, God, Kobe
It doesn’t matter if you just call him Harry, but Potter is a Last name, is your last name really Potter? Or are you really just called Harry Potter?
God, you may think you are cool, but it is really no different from being called the "Jade Emperor"
< p> 10. Popular names: Tom, Bob, Robert, Peter...
Many people are afraid of the danger ahead, so they decide to play it safe. All the familiar names in our class were brought out, Tom, Bob, Mike, etc., as if it took us 20 years ago.
Although the name is a code name, you should not give your child a random name like Tom or Mary. Such a name is equivalent to our "Xiao Ming", "Xiao Hong". Think about it, it's been more than ten years since the 21st century, how embarrassing it would be if the baby was still called "Xiao Ming" or "Xiao Hong".
So Bambi has listed for everyone the most popular names in the 1910s to help you clear minefields. If you want to choose an English name again, then these names can be avoided.
Finally, I hope everyone can get an English name that suits their own needs.
