How about your idea about my new name? Recently, for a better communication, I changed my name from Elaine to Jessy. I'm not sure whether it is better or not to others, but I feel much better when making friends. So how do you think, my dear friends?

Growing up, I never had a problem recognising the name "Elaine." In China, it makes sense to use 'Jessy' since the letter 'l' in 'Elaine' may be challenging to pronounce for most people. In a Western context, I think 'Elaine' is a better name.

Dear Arwa， Thanks for your comment, but Elaine is not that easy to call and realize in communication process.

You know what? Your original name sounds softer and more musical.

Dear Thomas, Thanks for your suggestion and support to our country. To be honest, I'm really proud of our country, for we are stronger and stronger now. You're right, most people just use their own name when communicate with friends from abroad. But just as what you said, that sometimes troubles foreign friends in pronouncing our names well, so we hope to simplify this process and make each other more convenient. I'm glad to hear that you regard it as your responsibility to learn our true names, hope one day our Chinese come to be more and more popular in this world just as English. Now more and more people are learning Chinese now, hope you are one of them. If possible, hope to be friends on skype or other communication tools to have more interactions. I can teach you Chinese and you can help me with my English. My Skype number is jessy.xu0616
