It’s the English name I recently chose because people kept having difficulty pronouncing my Chinese name after I arrived in England last year. I really like it, but I’d be interested to hear how it comes across to others, especially Anglophones.

Lol I was born in China and now a naturalized US Citizen and I still have the “Pinyin Name” as my legal name… I just never felt like any “English-language name” fits me… cuz they all gives off the “vibe” of being a ABC (American-Born Chinese) and that feels so “phony” to me.
I’d say just embrace your real name…
(I mean usually how it works is that: you just “Anglicanize” it a bit and drop the tones when people ask “how do you pronounce it”)
