Regarding the minefields of English names, we will not explain further here. So, how can you give yourself or your child an English name that you like but not embarrassingly? You can refer to the following suggestions:
Method 1: Pronunciation similar to the Chinese name
If the baby's name can find an English name with similar pronunciation, it is a simple way to use it directly, such as: Lin-Lynn, Rui, Rui-Rachel, Kevin-Kevin, Lina-Lina, Yifan-Ivan, Wei-Vivi. In addition, simple things like Lei, Tao, Mei, Ning, and foreigners can also be used directly.
