mike, a new name is like a new identity. i think of each language i learn as a different identity--kinda like a multiple personality--which you might've noticed, i have lots. haha~ xiaoqiang, how about "Sean" or "Shawn?" it sounds close to "qiang," kind of like "xiang" but without the 'g' sound. however, this is a very popular name (at least here in the usa) and comes from the irish. but in china, you might not meet too many seans.

我觉得你可以找一本叫《帮你起个英文名》的类似这样的书，里面有很多很多名字，还告诉你它的原意啦，引申意啦，挺好的~~我在我们学校见过的，不知道你能不能找到了~~类似这样的书应该挺多的吧，我觉得总有一个你喜欢的

How about 'Hector'?

I used to feel the same as Mike, I thought that changing your name was somewhat disrespectful in and that we shouldn't change it "just because it's easier for others to pronounce" etc. However, I've come to realise that hellopanda77 is correct, when you use different languages, your entire personality changes (or at least for me and other people I know). 小强， what's your full Chinese name? I assume you don't want to be named after a cockroach! (for those who don't know, 小强 is the name of a famous cockroach in China, he starred in a film and everything!) PS: I want an English name that is appropriate for me. Can anyone help me? Thankyou! I always thought Jackey Chan was a great name, it's simliar to his Chinese name, 成龙 (Cheng Long). I would like a name like that. Thank you, all of you! Thank you!
