Do not confuse these English names!

Nowadays, many Chinese people, especially young people, have English names. On the one hand, it is for fashion, and on the other hand, it is for convenience of communicating with foreigners. Unfortunately, in the eyes of English-speaking people, many of their names are funny and sometimes funny. Some British listed their interesting names in China.

Peter Pan or other fictional characters
Peter Pan or other novel roles

You shoshould never name yourself after fictional characters from books as it's weird having to reference you in passing. "So yeah, I was out with Peter Pan the other day... "And it just leaves you open for obvious jokes like," was tinkerbelle with you? "Please leave these names alone. This includes des Harry Potter, Edward Cullen or any other fictional character. Please...
Never name yourself with the role name in the story book, because when someone talks about you, such as "I went out with Peter Pan that day", you need to explain your name by the way, this is odd. And you will be teased by others. For example, "are you with xiaodingdang ?" Don't use these names, including Harry Potter, Edward Karen, and other novels. Please .....

Brad Pitt or other celebrities
Brad Pete or other celebrities

This is on par with me calling myself Bruce Lee (Bruce Lee ). let's admit it, it sounds pretty bad if you call out a celebrity's name when you see your friend in public. again, if you like the name Brad then use it, drop the Pitt and we will be fine.
This is the same as I named myself "bruce lee. Admit it, when you meet your friend in public, the name of a celebrity is in your mouth. It feels pretty bad! If you like the name "Brad", use it. Just delete "Pete.

Candy, honey or other names synoymous with the "night girls"
Candy, honey, or other name equivalent to "Night girl"

I really don't want to offend anyone who does in fact have the names that I am about to mention but just to let you know, these are names commonly seen as, well... Synonymous with "ladies of the night" and "Page 3 girls ". these names include candy, crystal, Coco, Candice, sweetie, honey and sugar. there are more but none come to mind right now. you may think it sounds cute when translated but in reality it doesn' t sound too good as a name.
I really don't want to offend you guys. But I still want to remind you that these names are considered as, uh ..... Synonyms of "night girl" and "call girl. These names include candy, crystal, Coco, Candice, sweetie, honey and sugar. The rest cannot be remembered. Maybe you think it sounds cute to translate these names into Chinese, but the reality is, it sounds really not a good name.

Using happy, sleepy and other adjectives as names
Name with happy, sleepy and other adjectives

I have a few Chinese friends who do this. I don't want to name and shame for fear of them ever reading this, so I will keep it simple and create a few of my own. names like happy, sleepy and dopey make you sound like you shoshould be following about a somewhat rather stupid princess from a Disney movie. when I see you I always want to burst into "Hi ho, Hi ho, it's off to work we go."
I have a few Chinese friends who do this. I am afraid they will find it difficult to read this article. So I didn't want to talk about their names, so I made a few simple remarks. If your name is "happy", "Sleep", or "silly", it sounds like a little tutorial for a silly princess in a Disney movie. When I see you, I can't help but say "Hi! Oh! We should go to work !".

Ace
Trump card

This one I loved personally. I mean, it's weird but it had a certain charm, I suppose. ace is like, either making yourself sound like you are the greatest being who has ed this earth and frequently have a poker night with God on Thursdays, or like the most awesome pet detective ever. if it is for the latter reason, I am all for you keeping your name in all honesty. like fictional characters from books, this one is also to be avoided.'
I personally like this name. I mean, although odd, I think this name has some charm. If you call it "trump card", you may sound like the greatest person on earth, playing poker with God every week. Or the best pet detective ever. For the second reason, I sincerely suggest you do not call this name. Just like the name of the novel role, do not use this name.

Apple, orange, and any other fruits
Apple, orange, and any other fruit

Come on people, watermelon, orange and apple are not names. if I called myself watermelon (watermelon), You wowould think it a very strange name. it is exactly the same in English. don't name yourself after fruits, period.
Wake up, human! Watermelon, orange, and Apple are not names at all. If I call myself "watermelon", you will find it strange. It is the same in English. Don't give yourself a fruit name!

IPhone or any other brand name
Love crazy or any other trademark name

Apple products, or any brand name .... It's just not a name... Just... No.
The name of the product or other trademark ..... Not a name at all ...... No. Why ...... No.

Octopus or any other animals
Octopus or any other animal

Naming yourself after an animal is also pretty strange in English. now I know, for example, the family name horse means horse, so I don't think it's too weird as I do understand to an extent where you are coming from (although with octopus, I really wasn' t sure ). but it's better not to if you want your name to sound normal.
In English, it is quite strange to give yourself an animal name. I know that the surname "Ma" in Chinese means "horse", so if your English name is "horse", I still can understand it, not too strange. (But I'm not sure about the name of the octopus) But if you want to make your name sound normal, you 'd better not give yourself an animal name.
