What new name would you adopt?
I meet a lot of people from China and other places where their given name doesn't work very well in the US. So they pick out a new name to be used here.

What name would you use if you were in the same situation? Pretend you don't already have your "normal" American name. I'm boring; I'd go with John.

Me too. I'd choose a Chinese name so I would sound more American.
