[Opinions] Chinese name...
Chinese-learners generally need to adopt Chinese names. I'm still deciding on mine. I'm so picky - I need a lot of help. I'll provide the pronunciations and meanings, you guys tell me what you think! Thanks so much, in advance.
BTW: The character for "shui," meaning "water," is my favorite character. That's why it's in there so much. J is my favorite constant sound in Chinese - that's why that's in there so much, too.
My Chinese surname is Zhen - pronounced like Jen.
Shuijin (shway-dzeen; "water" and "gold")
Shuijia (shway-dzya; "water" and "home")
Shuiming (shway-meeng; "water" and "bright")
Shuinuan (shway-nwen; "water" and "warmth")
Shuihua (shway-whua; "water flower")
Juan (dzwan; "graceful")
Shui (shway; "water")
I know it's a lot... Thanks a ton to anyone who helps!

I like Shuihua "water flower" such a pretty and original meaning!
Shuijin, Shuijia, or Shuihua
Shuijia I think has the best sound and Shuihua has the best meaning. Shuikin has a cool sound too

Considering all aspects (pronunciation and meaning), I like Shuihua best, followed by Shuijin, and then Shuiming.
I like Shuiming the best for its sound and meaning.
I'd pick either Shuijin or Shuihua. Probably Shuihua unless you are bent on getting a "J" in there somewhere!
Also, totally off-topic except that it has to do with my name in another language: I picked the kanji to use for my name and it means "benevolent horse".

Shuihua and Shuiming are my favorites.
