最受欢迎的英文名字【一】
奥运刚落幕，各国运动员陆陆续续离开中国，带着荣誉返回祖国了，不但带着16天的记忆、采购的礼品、还带着新取的中文名字。好在奥运村里有志愿者服务，可以帮他们想很多名字，少了不懂汉语取名的笑话，然而对于中国人来说，我们多数人很少能接触到外国人，或者在遇到外国有人前该如何取英文名字而不至于有歧义呢，比如，在中国，肯定不会有人取名叫 猪八戒、牛魔王之类的大名咯，英语名字中也有类似的，比如卡通人物，snoopy、kitty等等，这些卡通的人物名字，就像中国人取名猪八戒一样，会令外国人费解你的英文名字，kitty，有猫的意思，当然看到hello kitty 绝大部分女孩子都喜欢 kitty 这个名字，不过它还有另外的意思
n.
(纸牌戏中的)全部赌注
(从每人赌注中抽出的)头钱
[口]凑集的金钱[物品]; 共同的资金(尤指小额集存的储蓄)
dividing the kitty分享头钱
这样的名字在国外可能会觉得有点可笑的。对于像我一样对英文是很不熟的人来说，取英文名是件比较棘手的事。
中国人取英文名应该尽量注意下面几点原则：
1.尽量不要取特殊卡通人物名字作为自己的英文名字，比如snoopy、kitty等；
2.尽量不要自己造词，这样对于别人来说，难以理解，就像中文汉字，你造的字别人肯定不会理解的；
3.最好找跟自己中文名字比较接近的英文名字，比如： ①李梅 — May Li ②张雷 — Ray Zhang ③刘凯文 — Kevin Liu ④吴大伟 — David Wu 这些对于国人来说，是不错的取名方法。
4.当然因为可能不会接触太多可以做名字的单词，或者单词的含义，可以找有意义的单词作为名：比如①Andrew — 表示刚强 ②Frank — 表示自由 ③Catherine — 表示纯洁 ④Helen — 表示光明等等
当然要注意单词的是否有歧义。
下面的英文名字是我在国外的一个很不错的网站看到的，有感外国人取中国名字有人帮，我也找外国人帮，呵呵
