Help me with my Chinese name please?

My old teacher gave me a Chinese name but I've mostly forgotten it.

It sounded like "ba huang di", (could be "bo wang de" or similar).

So I'm thinking using "巴" for the family name. Or maybe "白"?

For the given name part, maybe "皇帝" like the emperor (I seem to recall discussion something about this in Chinese class... but that was years ago!)

Would 巴皇帝 be an ok name, or would it sound funny to a Chinese?

Any suggestions much appreciated!!

I don't think it would be a good idea to have 皇帝 as part of your name. It would be inappropriate to have this in a name I think.

I second that. It sounds weird.

巴 and 白 are both ok surnames, but best pick a different given name to go with it.

Thanks for the feedback!!

I asked my Chinese friend here, he says it's perfectly fine and he even knows someone named 皇帝.

However I think I'll change it anyway since I don't want to offend anyone. Maybe 巴王迪?

I don't think it's a good name. It sounds strange.

Maybe it's 柏望德？
