Good job Sophie!!! I am from China and I have a awkward English name as well. It's mostly referring puppy in USA. I'm so glad they don't put my english name but pinyin on my name tag when I work in US.

Hypercritical enough! Don't find those shit excuses like "it's easier for other people call you". Look Japanese, look Korean, they all insist to use their own name instead of foreign name, the truth is Chinese people believe they are inferior, they think grab a white people's name will make them look a bit more superior. Chinese definitely have no soul. Giant country of copycat, everything even names...Shit!

this video sucks... i mean it... so artificial... do you think that chinese people all name themselves sth like frog, condom, sperm, lavatory? holy shoooot..... most of the chinese people will go something simple, matt, robin, harry, angela for example, but don't presume, and don't be misled by this stinky video that everybody was that weird and stupid
