When choosing an English name, you can choose an English name based on the Chinese name, but do not choose an English name based on the Chinese name. Recommended guidelines for choosing English names.
1. Correlate the English name based on the Chinese name
Based on the translated meaning of the Chinese name, such as: Zhang Mingming, English name: Bright, match based on the translated meaning in Chinese.
Based on the pronunciation of the Chinese name, such as: Li Qiaodan, English name: Jordan, match similar ones based on the Chinese pronunciation.
According to the spelling of the Chinese name, such as: Li Meng, the English name: Lemon, match according to the spelling of the pinyin.
2. Do not choose an English name based on the Chinese name
Choose names with the names of people you like, such as: Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and other well-known entrepreneurs. This is why there are many classmates named Steve and Bill.
Unconditionally choose according to your own preferences, such as: Jack, Michael, Tony, etc. They are very popular and have excellent memory, so they are also a good choice.
3. Recommended guidelines for choosing English names
Be sure to choose names that foreigners have actually used. Why do you say this? You can compare it to China. I believe many people think of it. A unique name, but you know that the probability of this happening is extremely low, so on the other hand, if the name you chose has been thought of by others, and is confirmed to be used as the real name after careful consideration, it means that it is quite reliable, especially for English Name, stop stepping into the trap yourself.
Avoid some non-mainstream English names. This is mainly due to cultural gaps. For example, names like Candy and Cherry may seem good to us, but they are often nicknames for women in a special profession, and international social interaction will be difficult. Particularly inappropriate.
You don’t have to deliberately avoid very personal English names. In fact, sometimes you don’t have to care too much about other people’s opinions when choosing a name. Not everyone’s social interactions are upward ones. For example, I still don’t know the name of Kobe. Where are the two Kobes? So if you have a name that you like very much, even if it is difficult to remember, just choose it. Most people just use it as a WeChat name, so use it as much as you like.
In fact, it is not difficult to find that the process of choosing an English name is an infinitely repeated cycle: search, match, and filter. You might as well review whether this is the case.
Including choosing an English name based on a Chinese name is nothing more than breaking down the Chinese characters into Chinese Pinyin, matching the Chinese Pinyin with the English phonetic symbols, and then using the phonetic symbols to match the words. The quality of the English name results depends to a certain extent on you. The time it takes and the speed at which the data is processed.

Things to note when choosing an English name
1. Do not use a random English name given to you by your English teacher. A large number of people's first English names were given by their English teachers. I personally think this is very unreliable. How can an English teacher allow an English teacher to make a hasty decision on something as important as choosing a name? ! You are not a puppy, and the teacher might as well give you a name out of a minefield. Please read on for the specific reasons.
2. Don’t literally translate your Chinese name into English. Some people's names are Qiang, and their English names are directly translated into Strong, and their names are Yan, and their English names are Rock. As everyone knows, in the eyes of foreigners, these names all have a strong aura of killing people.
What’s more, during a summer internship in college, a girl in the same group was named Chunyan. Because we had to deal with geologists from Israel, everyone had an English name. This girl So she named herself Swallow. This word means swallow in English. Of course, this is what she wants to express, but the more commonly used meaning of this word is the verb swallowing. A girl is called "swallow". What do you want foreigners with slightly dirty thoughts to think?
3. Choose biblical names carefully.
Many of the common Western names we usually use actually come from the Bible. If you are a Christian yourself, there is nothing wrong with it. But if you are a firm atheist, it is better to avoid it as much as possible. It is easy for people to misunderstand. The more common biblical names There are John, Joseph, Chris, Paul, George, Maria, Ellen, Carmen, Jane and so on. As for the names of evil people in the Bible such as Judas and Lucifer, it is best to stay away from them.
4. Do not use sexually suggestive names. In North American Strip Clubs, strippers will have some conventional stage names, such as Amber, Crystal, Diamond, Candy, Brandy, etc. Girls must avoid these names. As for boys, it’s better not to use names like Dick that allude to male sexual organs (or assholes). It’s worth noting that the nickname of Richard is Dick.
5. Young people should be cautious about using the names of older people. Just like our Chinese names with historical significance such as "Chaoying" and "Zhanmei", there are also many names in English that people will know are the names of elderly people. When choosing names for young people, it is best to avoid them. Female names Such as Betty, Nancy, Shirley, Fannie, etc., and male names include Earl, Marvin, Edwin, Hubert, etc.
