Hello everyone, I'm from China. I'm very happy to meet so many people from all over the world here. And I hope to make friends with all of you. I have now only my Chinese name, and I find it more and more important to also have an English name to communicate with people from another country. My last name is "Lu". Can you give me some advice on my English first name? I hope it to be read smoothly alone with my first name and to be impressive. Better meaningful :) Hope to get many replies here and I will probably take one of your answers as my actual English name :)

i think liza is the best name for you. Elizabeth Lu, not that bad. What do you think?

Isn't that a name for girl? I forget to tell that I'm a boy :) Thank you.

I see no reason for you to make an english version of your name. Your parents gave u a name and that is valid all over the world. If you really want an english name - ask your mom what she would have named u if you were american and then u will have a name =) Welcome also to Mylot, I hope u will like it here, It is a great place to meet people, discuss and just have fun!

Thank you for your advice. I should tell you that there are two reasons for me to do so . First, it's really hard for others to pronouce my Chinese name. And second, my parents do not speak any English. So I have to name myself :)
