Can anyone help me in picking an English name? Thank you

Choosing another name is a very important task. In a lot of cultures there existed such a tradition - when a person came of age, he or she chose another name. The same with getting another name when changing religions. A person's name is a kind of a protective and enhancing symbol for that person. So when you choose a name, first think of what side of your personality you want to enhance, and choose a name accordingly. Choose several different names that you like, and try to see, which one fits you the most, with which one you are feeling most comfortable.

Change your name change your destiny, it's a choice. Don't change for others, but if you really feel a need and this is what you want go for it. I like Ivy and Spring they are both nice names.

I would always introduce myself with my real name and if the person had difficulties with your name tell them your nickname might be easier. What is you name in your native language?

Spring sounds good to me for two reasons:

a) it is pretty unique. I've never heard the name before

b) it's a translation of your real name. So you're not really changing your name, you're just translating it.

yeah I agree with gc. Spring is unique, pretty, and not changing things.

Maybe we should see a picture of you and say what we think u look like?

I had to change my name when I moved to Spain (20 years ago) to a Spanish version of the name, and well, I hated it. I think if you can keep your real name then do, people may pronounce it funny but hey, that's their problem, not yours. I say keep your real name.

Also, you want something that YOU can pronounce easily.

I do tend to agree tho, that if there's any way you could keep your actual name, you might as well, even if you had to anglicize the pronunciation a bit- "Tree" could easily become "Tori" (which is usually short for Victoria, from what I've seen)or maybe "Turi", pronounced however you like...

MAN, I have tries to find an equivalent to my name in japanese and it ain't easy, as anything that sounds close is invariably a female name

Spring is very pretty, and plus, you've already chosen it for your nik here.

I like it.

nope, it shouldn't, my Uncle's wife (yes he has a thai bride, he lives in thailand with her) has a completely unpronouncable name so we just call her "Ice"

she's happy, the government couldnt really care, it's like my Real name is Kelly - YES Kelly - For A MAN, but everyone calls me Darren or Daz, wont be a problem at all, trust me.

You look like the sort of person that people will remember regardless of your name.

you have a weird admirer

I'd say from the photo that Spring seems to work, and as someone else mentioned you already chose it for here... it may be that the decision is already made.

I could think of you as a Rachel as well.

How about Qi, or Tsi?

Really changing name could change destiny?

I like Spring and Ivy too.

I like Spring If it's a translation of your name, then go with it.. Although since your nickname is already Spring here, I think you've probably already made up your mind.

I have heard it said that changing your name, will change your destiny, so please choose wisely. Your picture is very nice, you look like an ivy or a Racheal, but spring can also work.

It's really whatever you prefer.
