别和中文名字掺和在一块儿，硬要什么发音相近是取不出什么好英文名字的。真的。[/quote:5e2930ec0d]
I agree.
Pick a category that you want your name to based on. For example, you want the name to be easy to remember? Or have certain meanings?
Sometimes if you choose an unusual name, it can bring up other people's ineterest when introduce, and you can tell them why you pick that name, and start a conversation.

When I was in China, I had my english name as Freeman because at the time I am out of work so I am a "free" man.
But later I found out that this name is most used by black people, and somehow I am not a "free" man anymore that I abandon the name.
When I came here and I need an english name in my resume or in daily life. As I like the movie "Star Wars" by George Lucas, and the Luke sky walker impressed me most. So I choose "Luke" as my name.
As in my current company, there are many "Star Wars" fans just like me, so when I introduce them where my name comes from, it's so good that they admit it's a GOOD name. -

Like Jerry, Kerry, Henry, Marry, Larry, Jacky, Ricky, Viky, Amy, Fanny, Lucy, etc. And John, Paul, Mike, Frank, Steven, Helen, Susan, Lisa, Linda are also chinese people's favour. All these names are good, easy to be remember. Don't worry about they are too many people using it, these happened in the caucasians also.
I just have one point to reminder you. When you want to have a English first name, please consider the rhythm with your Last name. That's because the chinese last name is a little bit difficult to pronounce in English, and only have one syllable. I notice that the caucasian's name usually have more than 2 syllables, so when you say their names you will feel a rhythm to make it easy to pronounce. This is English's great charm. Make your English first name longer, and consider the pronounce with your chinese last name.
Never worry about a "name". Sometime, make it special is also a good idea. Once I met a Amercian in Shanghai, on his business card has his chinese name "孙悟空". You can do it! -

不敢苟同。起个英文名（不是改名字）和民族自尊心两码事吧，只是为了好发音，好记，便于在社会上生活（我指在西方国家里）- 如果你是针对国内，不在我说的范围之内。再者说，到了西方国家，还指望让老外去认（念）（五千年文化的文字）汉字好像有点不切实际吧。如果说的是拼音发音，事实上很多中文的拼音，老外无法发，要改成他们的英文拼法才比较好发音，呵呵，如是那跟英文也没啥区别了。 -
- 时间: 2005-6-20 16:01名字不要改来改去[就象选结婚对象一样]，因为，当初起名字时，是你的第一感觉帮你决定的。
相同名字的人有很多相同的特点，这是因为他们的性格和特质决定他们听到这个名字发音的时候产生喜欢和舒服的感觉。
父母给起的名字也是因为起名字的人[父母或其他亲戚]当时对这个名字的感觉还不错。[感觉来自他们本人的性格和习性]
大多数经常改名字的人是对自己不自信的人，[当然英文名字相同的太多是因为我们对大多数英文的名字陌生，我们熟悉的太有限。]
中文名字也有很多很多重名的现象。
如果确实想改的话，找一本英文名字总汇的词典，念每个你喜欢名字，找到最让你有舒服感觉的那个。那个就是你应该的NAME!
因为，那个名字本身就代表着你的性格和特点。
希望你找到那个最适合你的---不管是名字，朋友，还是陪伴自己一生的人！
