In some Sino foreign joint ventures, every employee has an English name, which is also the need of work. For Chinese people, how can an English name be meaningful and more advanced? Today, Xiaobian will show you how to get a tall English name.
Question 1. The English name is too common
The first problem is that English names are too common, such as Henry, Jane, John, Mary. It's just like foreigners named Zhao Zhiwei, Wang Xiaogang and Chen Xiaoping, which makes people feel far fetched. Although there is no fixed rule to name, it is important to give people a feeling.
Question 2. Avoid cultural differences
In addition, due to cultural differences, some names are not elegant, such as cat, Kitty. In English slang, they refer to the female pussy. Cat should be changed to Cathy and Kitty to Kate.
Question 3. Change name and surname
Generally speaking, people from non English speaking countries may change their names when they arrive in the United States, but they have not changed their surnames. It's about family honor, and it's about genetics in the future. Therefore, no matter how difficult it is to read one's surname, we should stick to it. It's common for people to change their surname when they start their English names, such as situ Jian Ken stone and Xiao Yan Yan Shaw. The following English surnames are acceptable, but it is better not to use them, such as young Yang and Lee Li.
Question 4. Homophony of English first name and last name
Some people have a homonymous English name because their surname is called more. But such a list of English names is only acceptable, and the full name is not natural, such as Shawn Xiao, Jone Zhong, Joe Zhou, Anne an.
Question 5. Don't understand grammar and use wrong parts of speech
Names usually use nouns instead of adjectives. Some people don't understand this rule. They use adjectives to name names, such as lucky. In fact, this is not an English name.
Question 6. Wrong gender
Occasionally, some people get the wrong gender, such as Ms. Andy, Daniel.
