I received a special given name with
combination of three words created by my parents, and my English name is
suggested from my aunt. After I was born, my father added the English Name into
my first name on the official documents.
Indeed, I am uncertain about the
meaning of my given name. I comprehend my parents would like to use the same
naming pattern in the family. Since my grandfather gave his children their
names by using same naming pattern, my father did the same for his children. However,
my father did not pick the English names starting with same first letter.
I found a girl has the same Chinese
given name and English name, but her given name translated in English is not
the same as me, and she does not have her English name added into her official
documents. Luckily, I acquired the special given name on my official documents,
and it represents me. During my childhood, I got a few nicknames from my
classmates. Some nicknames came from brands or objects such as boat and banana
boat dessert. Even though my parents and some certain friends prefer to call my
Chinese name, most people call me Sandra currently.
What kind of pattern did you mentioned in your essay?
ReplyDeleteSince the first name of Chinese name may consist of one word or two words, the same naming pattern means one of those words in the first name must use the same word in the family, such as XR, XT, XY, XZ..... or AX, BX, CX, DX..... for the first name.
DeleteThe birth of your name seems to be really complex and intricate, but your name is really good.
