Help me to choose an english name ~

[renzhe]

When somebody is under the influence of light drugs like marijuana, people call this condition "stoned".

A "stoner" is someone who gets "stoned" regularly, or is "stoned" all the time.

"Stoney" sounds like something you would call a "stoner".

The worst "English" name used by a Chinese that I've ever heard was "Stiffy". Which is even worse than "Stoney".

An English name is supposed to help you interact with English-speaking people by giving them a name that they can easily pronounce and remember. It can be unusual (as long as it's easy to remember), but it shouldn't be something silly.

TO renzhe~

忍者 right？

Although I don't understand why Stoney will linking with smoking drugs......

But maybe it is not a good chance~

Stanley is one candidacy, If there is any other advice?

[renzhe]

忍者 right

Yes

But I don't use this name in real life

Although I don't understand why Stoney will linking with smoking drugs......

Stoned = high on drugs, so "Stoney" sounds like "Drunkey"

[stonelee]

TO leeyah ~ 谢谢你了啊~ 呵呵 我英文还挺菜 所以他们的意思我理解的不深~~见笑了~ rockstone我怎么觉得当名字用太长了点呢~ 会不会在意思上也太猛了点~？overkill 过度杀伤？

你的中文很好啊~

[leeyah]

不是呀，是a bit extravagant，过度的的意思呢。我觉得你的原名有两个stone所以Rock+stone就是这个意思了。

Anyway, I think you already have a nice English name: Stone Lee sounds good

Why change it?

[stonelee]

TO RENZHE

English, Croatian, German, Spanish, Mandarin

!~~You are good at so many kinds of languages!

Thanks for your explain, the meaning of Stoney...i got it ~

Stan /Stanley/ rockstone lee/~~~

[stonelee]

[Anyway, I think you already have a nice English name: Stone Lee sounds good

TO leeyah~ Because one English teacher told me that I shouldn't use"stone" as one person's name,just as someone should not use "lion" as his name .

SO stonelee is already a good name ~?

[leeyah]

在西方有带着Leo-这个前缀的人名，就是勇气的含义， 很强。有Leo & Leon 这两个名字，它们的意思就是 Lion 这两个男名都是自古代拉丁语来的，常见。 还有女名 Leona， Leontina，等等，意思一样 (Lioness) ，一样强

Stone Lee 很好听， 和石磊的含义差不多

Stonelee: you have to listen to my advice (because it's the best! ):

Take "Stan", and with your surname "Lee", it'll become "Stan Lee", very nice!

However, if you take "Stanley" plus your surname "Lee", your name would become "Stanley Lee", not so nice!

Ok, make up your mind now (and don't listen to anyone else!)

[stonelee]

Now i pay attention to Stan Lee!!

HashiriKata and leeyah~

Thank you for all your advises!

If i choose Stan Lee,...i am not sure how to say it in English...

如果我选择了Stan Lee，Stanley 是不是可以做为Stan Lee 的一个昵称，或者是简写？

[heifeng]

ummm...if he introduces himself as Stan Lee...aren't people going to keep asking what his last name is thinking he's just saying Stanley anyway? Just a thought.

hmmm, sticking to the stone theme: Just plain Rocky lee. It's a very unforgetable name and then you can go into how your name has all those 石 in it...

Although Stan is short for Stanley, it can also be used as a name in its own right. So normally stonelee should just introduce himself as "Stan", and when necessary, he could add that his surname is "Lee". English speakers would then think of "Stanley" but know that it is "Stan Lee". Wouldn't this make the name more interesting and memorable?

[stonelee]

TO heifeng

黑风？ a mysterious feeling!

Stan Lee similar with Stanley... 可能是会有点小问题~

Rocky Lee is also a wonderful choice, the only problem is Rochy not similar with shi2 lei3 in pronounce.

Rocky Lee leave me an deep impression~! Rocky Lee 给我个很深的印象~ 也是个好的选择~
