Europeans and Americans generally choose names randomly from the Bible. Sometimes in order to commemorate a relative or friend, the name of a friend or relative will be used as the name of the child.
Chinese people need to pay attention to several things when choosing English names:
1. Surnames generally remain unchanged. Some Chinese surnames have conventional spellings, such as Zhang (Chang) and Wang (Wong). Lee, etc. If you don’t have it or don’t know it, just use Hanyu Pinyin as the spelling.
2. Put the English name before the surname, such as Tom Lee, David Wong, etc.
3. When choosing English names, be careful to avoid names with specific origins. For example, "Hans" is usually of German origin. At the same time, pay attention to the distinction between male and female names, and do not mistake the English surname for the first name, etc.
4. If you like to express yourself, you can choose a name with the initials ABC. If you don’t like to express yourself, you can choose a name with the initials WXY.
