Re: English Names Chosen by Chinese Students
You'll always be happy in class. They sound like translations of their names or words that describe them.

Haha, well I did always look forward to receiving my class list every day just to see what crazy names would pop up next. Some of them are translations of the meaning of their Chinese names; for example, there are many Chinese names that literally mean "sun" or "beautiful" or "strong". For the most part, however, the students just chose things they liked, such as a kiwi.
