 起英语名的三大忌


中国人起英语名,要避免三大错误:
1.Don't make up names: 不要造名字
常见的错误:为了呼应自己的汉语名或者喜欢某个词的意思,而选了做英语名。
常见奇怪的名字:Dragon, Tiger...
2.Don't use fruit names: 不要用水果做名字
常见的错误:港剧里有不少Apple,可是在西方用水果做名字很怪呀!
常见奇怪的名字:Apple, Kiwi, Mango...
注意:Cherry是个正经名字
3.Don't be too literal(Be careful with nouns 1 and adjectives): 不要直译
常见的错误:为了呼应汉语名而直接翻译了。特别是选用了一些名词和形容词
常见奇怪的名字:Wind, Rain, Rainbow...
另外还有一类名字听起来挺可爱,可是却是cheap name(廉价的名字),比如:Candy。
这类名字由于文化原因常被用作特殊行业的“花名”,所以也要避免。
此外明星名人的名字有时候标新立异,并不是很好的参考。
Names and generations
名字和年代特色
和中国人一样,美国人起名字也带有很明显的年代特色
1.Baby Boomers 婴儿潮 (1943-1960)
Girls: Linda, Judy, Gail
Boys: Gary, Larry, Dennis
2.Generation X (1961-1981)
Girls: Tammy, Tracy, Tonya
Boys: Todd, Scott, Chad
3.Millennials 千禧一代 (1982-2004)
Girls: Brittany, Kelsea, Chelsea
Boys: Cody, Zachary, Kyle
4.Generation Z (2005-present)
Girls: Addison, Nevaeh, Zoey
Boys: Ayden, Aiden, Jayden

所以选最经典的名字是又得体又安全的选择。如果你怕这些名字太沉闷,可以选择它们的变体:
John - Jonathan - Jonny
要选一个有个性、也安全的名字?
