Chinese names to foreign people
How can i chose a chinese name or nickname to use in China, because my real name can't be well pronounced. Is there any rule or tool ? (besides avoid 'bad luck' words)My name is Gonzalo Rojas. Gonzalo have an ancient meaning as "brave guardian". Rojas means "red color". / Mi nombre es Gonzalo Rojas. Gonzalo tiene antiguo significado como "valiente protector". Rojas significa de color rojo.

Answer

Gonzalo Rojas could be 鞏丹誠. 

Gonzalo : guardian 
鞏 sounds somewhat like GON-zalo. 
鞏 means to consolidate / to entrench / to solidify. 
for example: 鞏固： 禁衛軍(guardian)鞏固王權. 
The sound and meaning of 鞏 match with those of GONzalo perfectly. 
There is a movie star named 鞏俐. 

or another family name 衛 
衛 means a guardian (noun) or to protect (verb) . 

Rojas：red color 
There are so many characters conveying the concept of red color, 
such as 朱, 紅, 丹, 赤, 殷, 赭, 絳, 縉 etc. 

I'd like to suggest you use the phrase 
丹心： 紅色的心 ,赤誠的心 or 
丹誠： 赤誠的心 
丹誠 means trueheartedness or the heart of loyalty. 
Shouldn't the brave guardian have the heart of loyalty to his lord? 

Therefore, Gonzalo Rojas could be 鞏丹誠. 

I hope you are satisfied with my suggestion.
