Answer 1

【答案】Dear Jim,

I am glad to tell you something about the Chinese naming practice.

Unlike your tradition, the family name in China is put first, followed by the given name, which usually contains one or two Chinese characters. Chinese people often name a baby with their best wishes in mind, like wishes for good health, bright future and happiness. Some names imply the birth time, birth place, or even a natural phenomenon at the time of birth. Besides, parents also need to consider how the names sound to avoid being teased or given a bad nickname.

As for your Chinese name, how about Ji Xiang？It means “good luck” and the first character has a similar pronunciation to your name Jim. I hope you’ll love this Chinese name.

Yours,

Li Hua
