Help[Opinions] Re: Please help me to find an English name~ETA (Edited to add)
in reply to a message by Xuan
Really? I've always loved the Vietnamese name Xuan, which is pronounced exactly like the English word "swan." If it is the same name, then why not use Swan? Or just directly translate Xuan into Spring. Neither name is very common here, but I find them both fresh and sweet.
But perhaps your Xuan is from a different language with a different meaning. Please let me know and I'll try again.
But my hope is that you keep Xuan as is. Let people learn something. It won't harm them. Names beginning with an "x" are very cool. :-)
ETA: I now see from your comment below that Xuan is pronounced "shoo-an" and it means jade. Again, I still think it's fine to use your real name. Your ESL teacher is being overly cautious. But if you really want a more Western name, then why not Jade or Jada?
