Disclaimer: The purpose of creating this video is not to imply that one must adopt a Chinese last name or a Chinese first name. Every individual's name is beautiful. I created this video based on my past interactions with Chinese learners, where I've noticed some may choose to adopt a full Chinese name (first name + last name) and use it as a nickname. The aim of this video is to offer guidance to individuals with similar intentions, helping them explore appealing nickname options while still valuing and respecting their own identity and heritage.❤
at first I've chosen 李信 as my chinese name because 李 sounds close to my last name and what my mom originally wanted to call me translates as 信. but now i think i like the name 夏飞 better so I'm gonna use it. by the way love ur videos, great job! 😊
My name means the one that brings light so I thought 白明晰 白 because in my language the word for my name is very close to white and 明晰 because it means clarity, but I don't know if it works. Does it?
Hi, my real name is Su-Yen, I'm not sure how to translate my name into Mandarin Chinese.. but i was thinking of 苏颜 or 苏姸 ... I'm not sure which is right. LOVE all your videos btw, 谢谢 🫶
Thank you Su-Yen☺ Both names evoke a graceful image of the person! To me, 苏颜 sounds like someone with a calm and gentle temperament, she may be interested in art and music. 苏妍 may be more outgoing. She always bring warmth and positivity to those around her!
@MandarinEssentials WOW! you're right! I was born an artist and also interested in music 🙂↕️🫶 so I'll go with 苏颜！ And I have been told I am very outgoing too haha 😄! Thank you so much !
Hello, I like the video a lot. It is pretty informative. I’ve just started learning Chinese. My real name is Fabian and my Chinese name will probably be 王子墨。

@@ShuvShu You are welcome 苏颜! Love this name!😀
My name is Thorstein Eng, (Thor = thunder God, stein = rock) would 吴岩雷 sound like a boy's name? I like 岩 also because I like rock climbing 😅
What a great name you have chosen! Yes, 吴岩雷 is a masculine name. I also see power, perseverance, and determination in it.
I am thinking of using 于乐 as my Chinese name. Does it sound ok?
Yes 于乐！This name is telling me that you are a happy person and always live your life to the fullest! Great name!

Hi, my real last name is Tang (it's a danish last name), so I've thought of using the chinese name 唐青. Would that sound alright?
