Should I stick with my Chinese name or change it?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Right now my Chinese name is 白燕丽。 I've had it for a few years now but I've gotten mixed reviews on it (有的人说好听,有的人说有两个第四声不好,等等). If I was going to change it I'd like to keep 燕 in the name as I'm pretty fond of the character by now. I was thinking maybe 白晓燕。。。但是好听像《白小燕》,而且《小燕》我也喜欢。。。Just thought I would ask people's opinions. I'm planning to study in China after I finish my BA and I'd prefer a name that a) doesn't just sound like a transliteration and b) could be a fairly common Chinese name (i.e. no crazy obscure characters in it haha). Thanks guys!

白燕丽 sounds like a foreigner picking up honestly.

白小燕 is a kinda vintage, but quite decent chinese name.
