1 Yourself
1. What is your full name please?
I
’
m Tang Xiaojiao, but you can call me Jenny. That is my English name and I chose it
a long time ago.
2. How do I spell your last name please?
(Last name = surname = family name. Be careful!)
It’s Tang, T A
-N-G.
3. Does your Chinese name have a special meaning?
Yes, it does. My first name Xiaojiao means
“
little crying.
”
，
guess that when
，
was a
baby I used to be pretty loud.
My parents chose to call me Xin Zhang, and it’s a pretty common name. Xin means “
heart
”
and Zhang means "articles", you know,
“
essays.
”
My folks ( = parents) wanted me to be smart and
well-read, you know, knowledgeable. They put a lot of pressure on my
shoulders with this name
．
My name is Yaning.Ya means that I am the second child of the family, and Ning means
“
silence.
”
I guess that when I was a child I used to be very calm.
4. Do you like your name? And will you change it in the future?
I quite like my name, Xiaojiao, and there is no need for me to change it. My name is very
unique. I don’t think that anyone else in China was
ever given the same first name. My father really
wanted to be original. My name is who I am. It’s part of my identity, and it’s
meaningful to me
．
I like my name because of its meaning, and I wouldn’t change it for the world.
Although my
name is very common in China, I got used to being called Yaning, and changing my name now
would just .be weird (= strange).
