Hi Everyone,
Well I can see that funny stories can come out of what I would call 'blunders' when picking a Chinese name. I think I will have to stick to my name until later.
It would make more sense for me to immerse to the culture before I take a decision. If it's not a problem to not have a Chinese name when I arrive in HK and doesn't offend anyone then I'll do that.
My intention is to immerse as fully as I can so first step is to learn cantonese. I'll leave the decision of my Chinese name to locals. Hopefully they'll give me a name that fits with my personality.
Many thanks all
