The Top-10 Worst English Names that I have heard in China
| 1.Rambo | Rambo was a lunatic who shot a lot of people in a fictional movie, I have never known a real English person with this name. |
| 2.Superman | Again, a comic book and Hollywood character that is inappropriate. I have only heard of one child with this name and his parents were put into a mental asylum. |
| 3.Potato | A delicious vegetable, but a very bad English name if you want to be taken seriously. |
| 4.Gaga | I know many Chinese love Lady Gaga, but gaga is the noise a baby makes, not a Christian name. |
| 5.Bambi | This name was popularized by the Disney cartoon and sounds cute, but in the west it is the name a stripper would use. |
| 6.Barbara | This is a good name for a older female, but not for 30-year old Chinese men. |
| 7.Bob | This is a good name for a male, but I know of a Chinese girl with this name. Bobby is okay for girls, but not Bob. | 8.Spring | You will sound like your parents did a lot of drugs when they named you. | 9.Sundae | This is something you eat at McDonalds not name yourself. | 10.Candy | This is also a common name for a prostitute in the USA and Canada. |
The Importance of Selecting a Good English Name
Choosing a good English name for travelling or living in English-Speaking Countries
I would like to see Chinese people be as successful as they can when they visit, live or work in the USA, England, Australia, Canada, New Zealand or other English-speaking countries. Because Chinese people have been so nice to me, I am offering free advice on choosing the correct name based on your age, your gender and the English-speaking country that is most important to you.
Just fill out the simple form below and I will have a look at the English name you like and email you to say if it is suitable or not. I will make some suggestions if it is not suitable. I receive a large number of requests, so it may take 1-2 days to email you back with your answer.
