New Members Ilenda Posted December 8, 2010 at 10:32 AM New Members Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 at 10:32 AM Hi! I have recently started to study chinese and I'm learning now how introduce myself. I have two surnames (I'm spaniard) and a very long name and the mix of that with chinese sounds very weird, so I would like to choose a chinese name. For the family name I like 松 because one of my surnames means "of the pine", it's easy to pronunce and write and it's a real surname. I have more problems choosing my personal name. I would like to have one related with my real name, Inmaculada. Is 潔/洁 a good option? I have found that 松洁 is the name of a shop of electric materials and sounds like a herb that calm pain, so I'm afraid that 松洁 could sound wrong or weird. Thank you in advance.

skylee Posted December 8, 2010 at 02:36 PM Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 at 02:36 PM You could also consider 潔兒 or 子純 or 麗貞 as the given name. PS - and 潔貞 (clean and chaste) too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Members Ilenda Posted December 8, 2010 at 09:24 PM Author New Members Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 at 09:24 PM Thank you! I like them, specially 麗貞, but, and this is a cultural question, is not a problem to have 貞 in a name? I ask because in the past the spanish equivalent was very common, but nowadays it's very rare because some people think it's a funny name.

skylee Posted December 8, 2010 at 11:45 PM Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 at 11:45 PM I don't think there is any problem with 貞 in a name. In fact I recalled last night that a long time ago I had a male co-worker called 子貞. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
