For people whose mother tongue is not English, not every foreigner can call your name correctly. Sometimes it may cause you some inconvenience in your life or business when you communicate with foreigners who may feel hard to call your name or mistake your name for someone else. Also, I think more and more people are stepping into the international stage, and we would work with all kinds of people with different color of skin and religious beliefs at home or abroad. It’s good to have your own English name.

Here there are four ways to give you an English name.

One: Generally, we don’t change the surname, so you can directly change your original first name for an English one. The principle is that what you choose sounds like your native name. For example, someone called Wu Dawei(吴大伟), he may call his English name David Wu. It’s easy for a foreigner to remember you and your name. That’s the most common way to give you an English name.

Two: You can choose a desirable name according to your nature. If you have a sunny disposition, you like the fresh air in the morning; you have great expectations for the future. Then you may give you a clear or hopeful name such as Catherine, Helen and Andrew. If you have a calm and introverted disposition, you like to stay in a corner; you don’t like to chat with people and you tend to be moved by someone or a movie still you want to be as free as the wind. You may name yourself Francis, Maria and Dolores. Besides you can choose your name according to your hobbies. If you like plants, Rose may be your name.

Three: You can use other country’s name, such as Spanish name Emiliano, French name Dacio Indian name Dakshesh, or you can create a fire-new name. Two of my friends did so, a friend named He Mingshu(何明术) created a name called Hamiki, the other called herself Stania. Take me for example, My native name is Wang Linhai(王林海), I found the corresponding Spanish words Soberano BosqueMar, then I shortened the three words to be Soboma namely my name. Look, it’s simple, rememberalbe and cool.

I hope those suggestions could help you choose a nice English name that may bring you great convenience or good luck in you life and business. I will be glad to see your own ones. If you have one, let me know and leave it here.
