Chinese name vs English name

haha .. i'd prefer my english name, although my family memz use my chink name ! =T .. as to why i prefer my english name ?! .. hhmm .. maybe coz it sounds weird when peeps at skewl try to call yoO by yoOr chink name!? keke .. and i guess fwends don't noe me as my chink name! =)

 

My English name is a Mandarin translation of my Chinese name...the good think is, it's easy to pronounce however it doesn't sound a thing like my Chinese name just because ppl don't use the correct intonation. I'm used to it, so it really doesn't matter English or Chinese. But I think Chinese is a bit more intimate because my family calls me by that name.

 

i prefer my english name even my rents call me by my english name or sometimes mui mui or bb nobody really uses my chinese name

 

What's your chinese name?

 

People call me by my different names: Devil, Satan, Beelzebub, Loki, Apollyon, Beherit, Haborym, Mania, O-Yama or Yen-Lo Wang.

Neh, I only have a Chinese name and two English nicknames I only use on the Internet. Glad my name can only be pronounced in one way, so people won't make mistakes there.

(Don't bother to ask my name btw...)

 

i have a boring english name :( all my friends call me by my surname, Tran, but my family call me steve, ste, steven. only use my chinese name when i'm in trouble :( 龍

 

I think most people prefer their english name cus they live in the western world, and cus its easier for english folk to say-tongue2

 

doing the first post comment...

Yeah, I totally agree with you Susie, like my eng name is totally different than my chinese. Not even remotely the same. Few ppl know my chinese name, and i mostly go by my eng name...but at least you get called your chinese name. I don't.

 

hmmm... only my parents and family call me by my chinese name =P friends all use english name

 

i dont think anyone has every called me by my chinese name, even my chinese school teacher called me by my english name, though some retard people< ignorant white and black folk> think its a literal pinyin of my chinese name. but my family say my name with a chinesy accent so its sounds as if it is chinese.

 

i hate my eng name but my chinese name is cool its wong hu kay but kay kay for short but still ppl call me my eng name >.< but my cousin also has a nick name kay kay so no wonder ppl dont call me that no fair!! -.-

 

I like the pinyin of my chinese name most. The sound of the chinese name is okay but it's too common. My english name is just plain weird but everyone call me using that...

 

i got an english name but i still prefer ppl call me by my chinese name.. i feel closer with the person when they call me by my chinese name.. haha werid right.. and i think only we chinese have chinese and english name. other races don't have another name

 

i prefer my eng name cuz it sounds better then my chinese name

 

i'd use my chinese name if my chinese name was Ding Lik!

 

chinese name! well quite lazy to think of a eng name.. and it just doesnt sound rite if ppl call me by a eng name.. cant get used to it.. haha but it is funny when my caucasian teacher tries to call my name..

 

hmmmmm dont think people have a choice with me cas i dont have a english name

 

lol i dont like my english either its too common......lol hacken lee, now thats a name.....then again i dont want ppl saying hacking in america lol......i have more than one chinese name and i can use both...so i'm good with that

 

I don't like my English name because it's too common, but I'd rather be called that because I don't like my Chinese name.

 

a name is a name, we should all have tradition and be proud of our name no matter if its english or chinese
