My first English name came out when I logged on Internet the first time. The computer required a name and it took me half an hour to figure out one. If you wanna be called in a certain English name in campus, better register it in your passport or your classmates will stick to your official name. Don't worry about Pinyin, they'll figure a way out to pronounce it, though it may take a while for you to feel comfortable about it. Or they will give you a name at random if you're really lucky... - -|| |
