I'm Chinese. My English name is Fannie, but I don't like it. Please give a name? Thank you very much! I hope that the first letter is F. :)

What's your Chinese name? I never really understood why Asians need an English version of their name. My best friend in high school was Filipino. Her real name was Zerin but her English name was Ashley. I never called her by her English name, though.

That's a really cute name! I think you should just use that. Or you coulde use Yancy. It doesn't mean anything, but it's still kinda your real name. But if you really want a "F" name, then here are a few. Feya - Hebrew: Fairy Fiana - Gealic: Vine Flora - Latin: Blooming flowers Faye - French: Fairy or elf Fauna - Latin: The goddess of fertility

Hello fanniefang, Welcome to myLot! I see your real name is Feng Yanyan. Why don't you just use it, I think Yanyan is a cute name instead of Fannie. :-) I think most of the suggested english names you've had here are good if you really want to change name.

I usually contact with my clients. But they couldn't pronounce our Chinese name. So I must have a English name. Thank you! :)
