In order to have better communication with foreign people, many Chinese children choose to have an English name, so foreigners can remember them easily, because Chinese names are so hard to pronounce. Some people choose the name according to the textbook, who think these names are acceptable and won't make mistakes. Actually, these names are not the best because so many people pick the name from it.

英语是国际语言，为了更好的与外国人交流，很多中国孩子选择起英文名字，这样外国人就能很容易记住他们，因为中国名字很难发音。有些人选择的名字是根据教材上面摘抄的，他们认为这些名字是可以接受的，也不会犯错误。实际上，这些名字并不是最好的，因为很多人是通过选择这样的方式选名字。想象下这样的情形，当有人叫你的英文名字时，会有几人回应，多么的尴尬啊。而且，这些名字都有点老气，听起来像上个世纪的人。所以我们选择英文名字的时候，我们应该小心，最好是避免那些受欢迎人物的名字，不然人们每次都会想到另一个人。
