Often following the question is the comment that he/she does not look like a Frank, Jack, or Mary. It's embarrassing, every time.
Why the hell Chinese can't have a name of Frank, Jack or Mary? Who knows what Frank should look like? Next time, just tell the American that there are 300 million people in China called Frank and ask him what's the population in U.S. He will feel embarrassed.

I don't have an English name, and people call my Chinese name. Everyone feels good. It's essential to have people known my real name. As a graduate student, what the hell for to use an English name?

offending whom? Shouldn't we each honor names given by our parents? If you don't, honor whomever you feel like. I am just trying to make known it is such a pity that some of us try so hard to please that they even lost their identities.
that she or he has a Chinese name, I felt honored. And I know that she or he must really like Chinese culture or languadge. So, go figure! suggest LZ deleting it.

Well, losing one's identity is also one kind of identity. So it's a personal choice.

I have no idea whether adopting an English name means losing one's identity, but this post doesn't seem logically sound to me. You've convinced me that some Chinese give themselves English names for various reasons -- to make it convenient for them to be called by American friends, to express their adoption of American culture, etc. These, however, do not mean that they didn't lose their identity: after all, one's cultural identity is controversially part of his personal identity. By adopting a

This post is not to ridicule those who got themselves funny names. It is intended for the new comers and those who are yet to follow suit. I want to let you know that the new culture that you are coming to does not particularly appreciate you abandoning your own. It is definitely not that hard for Americans to say a Chinese name. You will not be liked or accepted by changing your name to one that only confuses others (and yourself). You must bring your own stuff, and equally important, your

not that accepted ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Not necessarily, try the last name Xu, or Xie, or Xiao, or any first name with "X". And the neo-classic economic theory is based on "Freedom to Choose". You don't have to like people's choice, but their freedom to make their own choice should be respected, just like your freedom of speech. You .

You can certainly change your last name (Xu, Xie, Xiao) to Bush or whatever you feel like. That is your choice. I do not respect people like that. That's my choice. Does this violate the theory that you just heard of?

No, it does not violate any theory, people are free to show that they are narrow sighted, or close minded. Since this has nothing to do with either economics or finance, I suggest this post to be removed.
whatever
