    I am in Chinese currently (8th grade, Chinese 1) and my name is Bi Yan Jiao. Yan means I like to write, and Jiao means feminine, I think. Idk why I picked feminine, but it sounds cool. :) lol. Ni shi huan Justin Bieber ma? Wo bu shi huan Justin Bieber(:

    This is an interesting lens. I am thinking now what should the name I choose if I am a Chinese.

    I have a funny story. An American friend chose the last name Wu -- common one, no problem. But for his name he chose wen ming (culture).
    Get it? Wu wenming. He couldn't understand why people laughed when he shared his name. :-)

    Funny! For my readers who don't know Chinese, "Wu" also sounds like the word for "no" or "lack of", so his name sounds like "no culture" or uncultured. Always good to run a name past native speakers.
