Is it more advantageous to have an English name for my career?

[ShyGuy]

Solomon is better. But you must have the wisdom to match that name.

Sounds like salmon. Will others think that I am a fishy person?

The keling would have introduced himself as Raj or Raju or Venk. No hard feelings in asking you to get a nice western name like Bob or Frank.

Bob or Frank sounds OK to me. By the way, why do you call yourself John?

Because I am John.

I do have a J in my name but no Jun.

if Jiang then john is still ok, if Jie then prob Jack/ Jake or Jeff (since Jay and Jet are taken by famous ppl already) and if Jing then jim.

These are weird names. I am usually an introverted person. These names sound to "big" for me.

If your family name isn't Neo, then call yourself Jack.
If your family name isn't Lee, then call yourself Harry.

Come to think of it, Jamus is a good name.

Jack Neo and Harry Lee are already people's names

I don't know Jamus' surname. I only know he's Workers Party and some things warm the cockles of his heart.

 

[ShyGuy]

Oh I just saw a thread title with Jamus surname. He's a Lim. Ok.

Jamus Lim

If your family name is Wan, you can call yourself Don.

Funny.

I was actually surfing for a good English name. I am looking at single syllable type like John, Joe, Jack, Mark, Rob, Dan, George type. Actual, I like George.

George seems to give an intellectual feel. Do you think so?

If your family name isn't Yeo, then George is fine I suppose.

My surname isn't Yeo. I kind of like George because it sounds more old Brit and intellectual.

This is so funny from your list.

• Chinese: Qiáozhì (乔治 in Simplified Chinese or 喬治 in Traditional Chinese)
  • Cantonese: 佐治 (zo2 zi6 in Jyutping)

The Japanese and Korean version is Joji..Sounds funny too.

I like the German one. Gio. Short and nice. I didn't know Giordano is German. Funny.

George also conveys a sense of upper class and royalty.
