    It is better to use English name, sometimes people can't pronounce the chinese name correctly.
    Then, it sound so funny.

    Everybody except my grandma calls me by my English name. I wish people would call me more by my Chinese name because I love my Chinese name and I'm so proud of it.

    Hmm..

    gawain is basically another way of saying my chinese name. It sounds so similar too

    Yes it does sounds mysterious, but still....
