English is the international language. In order to have better communication with foreign people, many Chinese children choose to have an English name, so foreigners can remember them easily, because Chinese names are so hard to pronounce. Some people choose the name according to the textbook, who think these names are acceptable and won't make mistakes. Actually, these names are not the best because so many people pick the name from it. Thinking about this, when someone call your English names and there will be several people answer, how embarrassed you are. What’s more, these names are a little old. They sound like the people in the last century. So when we choose English names, we should be careful. It is better to avoid the names from popular characters, or people will think about another person every time. 英語是國際語言，爲了更好的與外國人交流，很多中國孩子選擇起英文名字，這樣外國人就能很容易記住他們，因爲中國名字很難發音。有些人選擇的名字是根據教材上面摘抄的，他們認爲這些名字是可以接受的，也不會犯錯誤。實際上，這些名字並不是最好的，因爲很多人是通過選擇這樣的方式選名字。想象下這樣的情形，當有人叫你的英文名字時，會有幾人迴應，多麼的尷尬啊。而且，這些名字都有點老氣，聽起來像上個世紀的人。所以我們選擇英文名字的時候，我們應該小心，最好是避免那些受歡迎人物的名字，不然人們每次都會想到另一個人。
