Do you use a different name in your second language?
I've noticed English learners - particularly from certain Asian countries - adopt an English name for themselves when using English.
Do you give yourself a new name for your second language? Do you adapt your own name to the new language? Or do you persist in keeping your original name the same?
And mostly, why did you choose that name?
For example, in Italian I'm "Davide", in Gaelic I'm "Dáithí" or "Píotsi", but in Chinese I chose "大奇".
