    I don't have English-speaking friends. So I need someone give me any suggestion about my name or something else.

    Repeating a syllable of a name is rare, in English, and used mainly for children (although my wife's name is YuHua, so I take great delight in loudly calling her "HuaHua!") (And "HuaHuaHua!") (And "HuaHuaHuaHuaHua!", etc.) (She hits me a lot.) I'd suggest dropping the repetition, to avoid the childish aroma, and changing the spelling from PinYin to phonetic Western spelling, e.g. "Tzin". That's easy enough to pronounce, and unusual enough for people to find it interesting. Or "Dave". Dave's always good (unless there are armored aliens involved and it's Friday night).

        Does Rome popularity with Chinese people stem from 'serie A'? That's really sad (however comparing it with Milan is even more sad...) :rolleyes:

            Well, in Italy we use 'cin cin' before drinking, like (I suppose) 'cheers'. The 'cin cin' expression comes from China (disclaimer: as reported by Wikipedia IT). :)

                Having just written a name splitting library I can say with some confidence that people just invent new words when naming their children.

                    What freaked me out is that no-one in China knew who I was talking about, when mentioning Holmes, because they just call him "the famous detective", and don't seem to know his name.

                                Repeating a syllable of a name is rare, in English, and used mainly for children (although my wife's name is YuHua, so I take great delight in loudly calling her "HuaHua!") (And "HuaHuaHua!") (And "HuaHuaHuaHuaHua!", etc.) (She hits me a lot.) I'd suggest dropping the repetition, to avoid the childish aroma, and changing the spelling from PinYin to phonetic Western spelling, e.g. "Tzin". That's easy enough to pronounce, and unusual enough for people to find it interesting. Or "Dave". Dave's always good (unless there are armored aliens involved and it's Friday night).
