Friend of a Romania asks me: "Alice, who takes your name to you? " my twitch one's mouth laughs say, "Myself! " his pop eye looks at me to say, "How can you name a word to oneself? " my explanation path is in China, what elder takes is Chinese name just be legal name, english name is to go to school commonly the ability after beginning to learn English can have, his this ability feels relieved.
But this problem lets me feel very interesting, though the origin of name of date from Chinese also has familial sense probably, but the English name that should say how the Chinese is taken, more should multifarious amused. E.g. my Chinese name the little brother that is my grandfather takes... can be I am very proud say, the decision that this English name can be 100% myself and savour. Come from the storybook of the first English that looks at the beginning of me, of famous " Alice's Adventures In Wonderland " (Alice roams wonderland) . Because like, name to oneself directly, did not love really more than this. Attend French class later, direct interpreter becomes French name " Alicia " , also was pass really.
In the friend that I know, also there is no lack of name of English of a little strange flower. When high school goes to school, of Canada handsome outside teach a requirement everyone should use English name on his class, have very individualize learn bully do not want to rectify oneself namely common, then that column writes the English name her write down " Nighteen " , be her then learn name. When result first time attends class, after the English that sees her teaching the name outside, burst out laughing, chose her name then. Next, every time the name that the class chose her, bring about whole class those all sorts of calling " Rose " , "Elisabeth " the schoolgirl is envied wish to call a number the name unceasingly. Just do not know that learns bully still use this name now.
The English of a friend that the job knows is called " Hippo " (" hippo " meaning) , the calling card that every foreigner gets him the first reaction is, what? Are You Serious? The feeling that with respect to new like you knowledge name of a client calls to blame animal is same. But magical is, no matter stem from what reason, his name is the easiest be remembered, every time others can remember with concern he. I ask, are you intended? He laughs and not language.
I think the Chinese obtains very good English name to accord with a standard mostly, namely Chinese name and English name are having alike in spirit clever. I have a classmate Chinese to be called sword benefit, still be a schoolgirl actually, although cannot change familial decision, but the other people's clever him entitle Jenny, instantaneous female identifies degree of full division. Still know a friend there is a Mei Zi in the name, call oneself May directly, a winter is spent in May, two names pronunciation is same, but artistic concept is good.
What how name a word to oneself do you know to the Englishman is then?
Name with the Chinese like liking cite the classics, name of a lot of England comes from Yu Sheng classics, but unlike Chinese name is so creative, the character name in just taking Bible directly will use. For instance " Jacob " result from Xi Bailai article " Akev " , meaning for " the rear foot follows " . In " Bible " " achieve a century " in, the 2nd son of Isaac and Rebekah calls Jacob, the rear foot that paying Esau of twin elder brother follows be born. Jacob is popular boy name all the time.
If say the Chinese takes English name not to press constant manage to give a shop sign to oneself, but the Englishman calls him or a road can be searched. I and an England friend say, "I should send a mail to Wendy next week, discussion collaboration plan. " he is heard say, "This Wendy is age a bit big, probably the person of 50 time? " I am very open-eyed, "Right, how you know? " he is laughing to say, "Present youth can do not have what who calls Wendy. "Present youth can do not have what who calls Wendy..
Think carefully this logic is right also, if which Chinese name makes found a state,resemble, of found a party, patriotic and so on, you also basically can be judged, this also is the person of one generation of Senior probably.
The name of a lot of Englishmans is born with its directly in those days popular trend is relevant. If you are known,for instance one calls the England of Diana the girl, you are OK and bold guess she is 1981 be born, because wear An Na and Charles get married that year.

But show according to signing up for investigation independently, actually parents of a lot of England gives baby people after having a name, regretted again, take popular name especially regret to lead taller. Hum, can understand very much actually, big like Chinese philtrum girl is called beautiful ah, beautiful ah, the boy is called brave ah, firm ah of and so on, do not have a characteristic too can small gloomy covers tightly.
