My
English
Name:
Lily My
name
is
Lily,
which
is
my
English
name.
As
a
Chinese
person,
I
often
get
asked
why
I
have
an
English
name.
The
truth
is,
I
was
given
an
English
name
by
my
parents
when
I
was
born.
They
wanted
me
to
have
an
international
name
that
would
be
easy
for
foreigners
to
pronounce. Having
an
English
name
has
its
pros
and
cons.
On
one
hand,
it
makes
it
easier
for
me
to
communicate
with
people
from
other
countries.
They
don't
have
to
struggle
with
pronouncing
my
Chinese
name,
and
I
can
introduce
myself
to
them
in
a
way
that
is
familiar
and
easy
to
understand. On
the
other
hand,
having
an
English
name
can
sometimes
feel
like
I'm
trying
to
blend
in
or
deny
my
Chinese
identity.
I
am
proud
of
my
culture
and
heritage,
and
I
don't
want
to
feel
like
I
have
to
hide
it
to
fit
in
with
others. Despite
the
occasional
drawbacks,
I
still{分析更多 十二生肖星座配对资讯请关注 :星座123网,wWw.xiNgzUo123.cC〗」
appreciate
having
an
English
name.
It
allows
me
to
be
more
comfortable
when
speaking
with
non-Chinese
people,
and
it's
a
small
representation
of
the
global
society
we
live
in.
It
shows
that
we
can
embrace
different
cultures
while
also
finding
common
ground. Overall,
I
think
the
decision
to
have
an
English
name
is
a
personal
one,
and
it
should
be
up
to
the
individual
to
decide.
For
me,
having
an
English
name
has
been
a
positive
aspect
of
my
life,
and
I'm
glad
that
my
parents
chose
to
give
me
one.
