Why God Descends A Lot Of Chinese In This World?
As I know, Chinese is the only race not to mind to change their chinese name.
You see, so many chinese adopted English name.
Why? Is it hard to be pronounced by foreigners? Or shame to be Chinese.
The Korean, don't adopt English names, their names are also as hard to be pronounced.
The Japanese will never ever change their name. They are proud to be Japanese.
I think, Chinese are the least to be proud to be Chinese.
You see, Almost all, Chinese Singaporean, Malaysian, HongKong adopt English name.
Their reason is their country used to be under British and they are English educated.
How about Taiwan? Oh! They envy America very much.
And How about China? Why they also want to adopt English name?
I don't think, it is neccesary because
China is a well respected country now and also
Chinese has old and rich culture than any other races.
I urge all Chinese to use their original names.
and beside that....
I always have hard time, to look for them when I ask for them at Hotel receptionist.
They were introduced to me using their English names, but
they check-in into hotel based on their passport names.

I met a man from New Zealand and he married a Chinese woman from China.
He said, his wife also adopted an English name and he said, it's so stupid.
He even said, his wife sometime even forgot her newly adopted English name when she was called in her English name by somebody esle. He called his wife using her Chinese name.
He even told me, alot of Chinese in China still can't speak English but they have English name.

See! How many Chinese become English, without the effort of God.
Or Chinese China still don't beleive in God?

What is the purpose of your post besides taking up space? Im chinese canadian and I would never for one second ever contemplate on changing my name to an english name! Are you on something?

You mean like...Jackie Chan ? lol

Fine, if you don't. What get into your nerve?
Are you a Hongcouver? Am I taking up your space?
I think you are taking up Canadian space.
Why you migrate to Canada? Because when HongKong wanted to be returned to China?

waaa u talkin about gods or the english names????

Yeah.
You see Chow Yun Fatt . No Problem using his Chinese.
He is much more populer and well respected in The US.

Chinese names are generally harder to pronounce for non-asians

I don't wanna spoil the fun but..

I had an English name when I started to learn English in class, most students find it cool to have an English name and all, and it doesn't really mean you just give away your name to the English one, it's like an ID no big deal, for we can better communicate in an international community and all. It's like why don't you use your personal name for your ID on this forum?

I had a French name when I started to learn French for the same reason, and that's it, I seldom even use it not even my ID on AF has anything to do with my name, it's like an ID used in a certain environment.

I use my passport name whenever I need to fill up a document, hotel reservation, whatever. I don't see a problem with adopting foreign names, afterall it's just a callsign.

Most Chinese in China don't know English. Therefore, they don't use English name. Only oversea Chinese use English/Spanish/whatever names because they want to adopt to other cultures since they are no longer in China anymore. Chinese don't believe in God. They think all gods are fictional. They think even Bible is
children imaginary book. However they are into worshipping their ancestry and sages such as Confusius, Lao Tsz and now Mao.

Nowadays it's very "in" to have some MAO picture printed on your bag, young people find it cool.

Where were you before you became a CHINESE CANADIAN?
Do you live in ChinaTown? That's reason, you still haven't adopted an English name.
Tell you, doesn't matter, how many generations, you live in Canada.
Chinese is always been considered Chinese. You will never been accepted as A CANADIAN. Agreed?
Don't tell me: " I am a Chinese CANADIAN". 2
Not like European, they can be easily accepted as a Canadian, once they migrate there. Ne?

I'm chinese canadian too i don't hav a chinese name...i was never given one

Now Chinese become a third language in Canada after French and English. In the big cities such as Vancouver, Ontario, etc.. in Canada, you can speak Chinese and have a easy time living there. Actually Canadian Chinese become more and more powerful in Canada as they dominate Canadia economical and politically. The recent election of new president in Canada, Chinese has a strong influence on the votes.

I was answering in response to your question. You asked us why so many chinese canadians or overseas chinese in general tend to adopt english names? And Im just telling you that I never did. I still retained my chinese name that was handed down for centuries Im proud of my heritage and I would never adopt an english name just to be more white! So what exactly are you hounding me for?

wow, this guy is a retard....

all my korean friends have english names.
that's so funny....

a name is a name, you are still the person you are.

rofl....cannt believe someone started a thread like this ..

Jackie Chan is much more popular than Chow Yun Fat in the US. There're more people who know Jackie Chan than Chow Yun Fat.


I've met Korean and Japanese people who have English names. Most of the people in China do not have an English name. I think you are basing your thoughts on a very small percentage of the Chinese people you've met.

Here're a couple thoughts about the names:
People prefer everyone non-Chinese not to butcher their name.
Some people believe that it's easier to find a job with an English name.
Easier time for other people, which saves them the embarrassment of trying to get your name right.

And for the record, I do not have an English name and I don't live in China town or near one.

Alot of Chinese names are hard to pronounce for non-Asians. Japanese and Korean names are pretty easy to pronounce.

I mean , it's ok for chinese to have an English name.
But why the Chinese in China. Always like to adopt an English name. It's not given when they were born.
China is not like before, Now It's one of the GREATEST county in the world.

Chinese in China do not adopt an English name, it's completely nonsense. You sure you are talking about Chinese in China?

Even for those Chinese who live in China and have an English name, they do not adopt their English names, they use them only in special locations or in certain occasions maybe in the offices of their foreign invested companies.

That's pretty much I have to say about it.

COOL !



Go to
alibaba.com.
most of them are chinese from china who post their business there.
I think 90% of adopt english names.

I have like 2~3 friends who actually work in alibaba that website which is based in Hangzhou, I am pretty sure the employees there do ont adopt english names.

those who do business with foreigners use their English names, no big deal, in real life they are like normal Chinese people.

God doesn't exist.

the hell you talking bout.. all korean/japanese/viet freinds i know have english names. As long as you keep ur original last name.. i dont see the problem

I think the important thing to remember is a name doesn't determine how proud you are of your heritage. I have met asian people with asian names who wouldn't give a rats a** if there country got blown up and I've met people with non asian names who couldn't be more proud of there roots and traditions. This totally depends on the person itself and how they view themselves in society. My english name is Daniel but growing up Ive always insisted that I keep my chinese name too because of the love I have for my culture and my parents so it definitely varies from individual to individual.

What if someone never had a chinese name to begin with...the parents couldnt think of anything worked

I remember my ESL teacher actually made fun of Hong Kong students with English names, calling them not proud of their cultural heritage. I thought she was naive. What's the big fuzz about it? I like the way I had chosen my own name and have two different names I can use in different situations. It is convenient and fun, and there is nothing to do with not being proud of being Chinese or whatsoever.

this is bull$hit. i have a chinese name and an english name. my family and relatives call me by my chinese name and my friends and teachers and coworkers call me by my english name.

so the fu-k what?

and plenty of koreans do it too. every korean i know has an english name and korean name. just like me.

what about Annette Lu and James Soong? they have english names.

they still have their chinese names and their family and relatives dont call them james or annette. only foreigners call them that.

i still dont get the point of this fu-king thread. what do you mean adopt english names? its entirely possible to have two names, a chinese and an english one.

i have my chinese name in taiwan and english in america

stop being a perpetual immigrant.

agree. chinese should be proud and use their chinese names in china. they should pass a law. all foreigners coming into china have to adopt a chinese name and use that chinese name while they are there. same with chinese going to other countries. they have to adopt namese of the host countries.

You are not even a Chinese, why do you care?



A lot of Gweilos in Hong Kong have Chinese names. I have given Chinese names to some of my friends before. It really doesn't mean anything...

get fu-ked

but i ate chinese food before. that gives me every right to care about chinese.



what? stop introducing swear words into the conversation.

stop trolling every single conversation

what other conversations i 'trolled' in?

all the ones youve participated in at chinese chat

what about you? i see you 'trolled' from mongolian chat to korean chat.

Oh i see.....agreed!

so louis vitton bags can be accesssible to everybody...

So what your saying is just because he's doing it its ok for you to as well. Why don't you try being a leader for once and stop following what everybody else is doing. Its pretty obvious that you would try to find every conceivable excuse you could possibly come up with just to troll around in chinese chat. You really are pathetic. Tell me what exactly are you?

Guys, don't put up with that Viet troll Bobvu, just report his @$$ and get him banned.

yeah, hit that report button and tattletale on bobvu. bobvu is tired of your whining. 2

Bob nobody here is going to report you because quite frankly your not even worth the time it would take to report you. I don't even care what you say on here your just making a fool of yourself!

Someone brief me on this.

i'll buy bobvu a nice jelly horse size dildo for his birthday

gotta go with plus size for a big troll!

New Zealand would be a good example of why Chinese adopt English names. In this country we have a wide mix of races although ethnic Europeans (kiwis) are stil dominant.

English names promote social harmony. The kiwis get along with Chinese with English names far better than Indians with Indian names.

I know ! That means being chinese China is not goog enough yet, without an english name.
Chinese will change anything for money.
The european or japanese or korean native, no need to change their name or adopt english for doing biz with European / foreigneres.
The Korean and Japanese are prouder with their own heritage.
The european that have chinese name, because it's given by their chinese friend. but the chinese adopt it themselves.
For those who live in america , canada or where ever , it's acceptable to have english name.
But not those in China or Taiwan or HongKong.
They were given three words name. But later add an English name... Like Daniel Chan XX XX.
If Chinese are good enough, and if the foreigners want to biz with you.
They will learn, to address you with your chinese name...
Like Chow Yun Fatt, Ang Lee ( 1st Asian to receive an Oscar Award)
Any Japanese or Korean native ( not Japanese or korean American) add an english name in front of their given name... Like Daniel Koichiro Kobayashi or Daniel Kim Il Jong. Have you met one? I haven't !
The Conclusion... Chinese (China) are not good enough to be respected yet.
Come on ! Introduce yourself like your given original chinese name by your parents. What for to have a Yang Ming (englsih name) that your parents don't even know how to pronounce. but try to please the foreigners rather than your own parents.
I am not trying to degrade those that adopt english name.
but I just want you to be proud of being chinese.







Does EVIL exist?



So, you are not a Good Enough Chinese yet!
You see! You guys are being made fun by others!

So they ARE PAGANS, Are they
