I once know of a girl named 蝶影, and her official English name is her hanyu pinyin name \"Die Ying\". :faint:

Hmmmm ..... creative!

My friend's Chinese name is 思婷

Her English name is Shiting

One colleague's name is Harry Kok, no dialect nor pinyin name
Two HK colleague's names are Monica Cheng and Nancy Or

These make me very conscious and cautious when naming DD

My boy's one is Banana Wong Xiang Jiao.

Hubs had totally no objections to the name and just followed with whatever I wanted. He did not ask for surname to come first.

We printed out his Chinese name in a few different sizes and cut out when doing the BC at the hospital.

that is really double x double emphasis, unless there is white banana

that’s why in some fengshui books, they got mentioned to exercise caution when giving names rather then just look at strokes.

Hello everyone


My friend's DD has quite a lengthy name in her BC, e.g.

Tan Hwee Ching (Chen huizheng), Lynda

I think she can use her dialect name for most purposes eg. air travel.
Internationally, names in brackets and after commas are sometimes considered to be as aliases.

Also, unless she is a Christian, having an english name after will not help much.

But I would strongly adding everything in when applying for Flat, using in title deeds, creating wills and applying passports.
If you look at it, in China, she would need to include her name in Mandarin Characters also....therefore less strokes better.
