The English name means English name. English names are more popular in various countries because countries around the world communicate more, and it is easier to communicate with English names.
Notes on English naming:
1. Pay attention to the meaning of the English name used
Some English names have bad ambiguities abroad, so When choosing an English name, you should carefully understand the meaning of the name you are using, and then decide whether it is suitable.
2. Avoid literal translation of Chinese names into English
Unless you have excellent English skills and understanding of British and American culture, it is not recommended to directly translate Chinese names. Chinese people choose names that have good meaning and are catchy. When foreigners choose a name, they should try to choose one from the already established names.
If you translate your name into English arbitrarily, the response you get is likely to be "That's not even a name." I once saw a boy named himself Tree. There is also a girl named Smiley in English. Not to mention that this is not a name at all, it would be terrible if you did not pronounce the letter "i" completely and pronounced it as Smelly.
Also, if you name yourself Sugar because of the word "sweet" in your name, it may remind foreigners of practitioners in a special profession. Of course, it would be best if you can find an English name that conforms to British and American naming conventions and has the same meaning as your own name. For example, someone with "乐" in their name can be called Joy or Joyce, and someone with "Yang" in their name can be called Sunny.
3. Choose a name based on your own factors
There are various reasons for choosing a name. Some families choose names because of family tradition, some because of religion, some because they like a certain singer or other celebrity, and some take into account the place or time of pregnancy or birth (such as "Paris" or "June"). There are also people who come up with their own innovative names!
4. Avoid names with too obvious meanings
Chinese names all have meanings, needless to say. Many English names either have no clear meaning, or the meaning has been forgotten by most people in the long history, and can only be found by looking up the etymology. In my opinion, these are "safe" names. As for names with obvious meanings, those of us who are not familiar with the cultural background don’t know whether these meanings will be regarded as a laughing stock.
Only someone as rich and willful as Michael Jackson can name his son Prince; but if you name your baby daughter Princess, there is no guarantee that you won’t be laughed at (the names Prince and Princess are really real) exist).
5. Pay attention to abbreviations
Long English names are usually abbreviated by friends and colleagues. Even two-syllable names are often shortened, like Matthew being simply called Matt.
However, sometimes such abbreviations can lead to unexpected results. For example, in the United States, Randall is a great name and is often shortened to Randy, but in Australia, Randy has the meaning of "lustful" meaning. Of course, this won't happen if you choose a monosyllabic name, but it also greatly narrows the choice.
