I hate to get questions from American colleagues about why many Chinese like
to call themselves English/American names! 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? Unless a
graduate will never publish or give presentations, or he/she prefers to
print his/her publications with his/her respective English name as well. :P

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!

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

我的理解是,大家生下来的时候,爸爸妈妈给起个名字。然后一般的人就用这个名字做
个identification了。
好像以前有这么句话:大丈夫坐不更名,行不改姓。
当然,有人长大以后改名字的,多半是花名。至于为什么要给自己一个花名,就不是我
们这种人可以懂的了。
不过我知道一个例子,林冲买刀的时候,问那个卖刀的名字来着。人家说不说也罢,说
出来辱没先人。如果一直逼他非得说个名字的话,那多半就是花名了。呵呵

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 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.
