My
English
Name:
Xiao My
English
name
is
Xiao,
and
I
have
been
using
it
for
over
ten
years
now.
Growing
up
in
China,
I
was
given
a
Chinese
name
by
my
parents,
but
when
I
started
learning
English
in
middle
school,
I
was
offered
the
opportunity
to

an
English
name
for
myself.
After
some
consideration,
I
settled
on
"Xiao." There
are
a
few
reasons
why
I
chose
this
name.
First
and
foremost,
it
closely
resembles
the
sound
of
my
Chinese
name.
This
made
it
easier
for
my
classmates
and
teachers
to
remember
and
pronounce.
Additionally,
"Xiao"
is
a
common
surname
in
China,
so
it
has
a
certain
familiarity
to
it
that
I
appreciated. Beyond
these
practical
reasons,
I
also
liked
the
way
the
name
sounded.
To
me,
"Xiao"
has
a
certain
softness
and
gentleness
to
it.
It
feels
approachable
and
friendly,
which
is
important
to
me
as
someone
who
values
kindness
and
compassion. Over
the
years,
I
have
grown
accustomed
to
being
called
"Xiao"
by
my
friends,
classmates,
and
coworkers.
It
has
become
a
natural
part
of
my
identity,
alongside
my
Chinese
name.
When
I
introduce
myself
to
people,
I
often
use
both
names,
to
give
them
a
better
understanding
of
who
I
am
and
where
I
come
from. In
conclusion,
choosing
an
English
name
was
an
important
step
in
my
language
learning
journey.
It
allowed
me
to
connect
more
deeply
with
the
English
language
and
culture,
while
also
expressing
my
own
personality
and
identity.
I
am
glad
that
I
chose
"Xiao"
as
my
name,
and
I
look
forward
to
continuing
to
use
it
for
years
to
come.
