However, Jerry is actually Jia Nailiang's third English name, and the previous official announcements are Happy (Happy) and Smile (laughs).
As everyone knows, in the eyes of foreigners, Happy and Smile are not "names" at all, they are just one word.
"Hello I call laughing"
"..."(Foreigners go crazy)
Fortunately, this did not extinguish the enthusiasm of the stars to take the English name.
It even makes them a little more frustrated and courageous.
Sun Rui, who calls herself Three, seems to be equally casual, but in fact she is "witty and flowery".

Like many friends when they take english names, they have a lot of good expectations.
However, when it was on the show, the English name was directly played.
Yang Zi and Huang Lei "complained" in the show that the English name harmonic is not good enough, and should be directly changed to Build (harmonic "not tired").
Isn't that a whole bit of ease?
And if this method of taking literary names is carried forward, another way of taking names has also emerged: the allegorical method.
Want to be rich (rich), want to slim call Thin (thin), want to get ahead of the crowd directly called Shine (flash), like cherries called Cherry (cherry)...

Once upon a time, we racked our brains for English names, flipped through books, looked up dictionaries, brushed movies, and even spent money to name websites, just to take advantage of the English name.
Nowadays, everyone gives full play to their subjective initiative, integrates localization naming methods and creativity, and turns it into a grounded matter.
Of course, everything has a two-sided nature.
Grounding is really good, but sometimes because it is "too grounded", in the process of using and calling English names, it is inevitable to encounter other problems.
For example, after becoming localized and harmonic, it is directly called forked.

Most people are still the most popular English names on the list of searches to see which one is used directly, so it also caused some embarrassing situations.

Coupled with the fear of not pronouncing standards, afraid of not understanding the real meaning of the joke... For various reasons, it seems, we are unable to have a long relationship with our English name.

At that time, English names were to some extent a status symbol and did not seem to have much to do with ordinary people.
Later, English entered the classroom of compulsory education as a second language.
We met Han Mei Mei and Li Lei, learned to answer What's your name class assignments, and began to think for ourselves the first English name.
With the words you haven't learned much and the foods you like, the month of birth, the stories you've heard... Many became Alice, Apple, Orange, April, May, Piggy.

With the continuous accumulation of English classroom learning, we have also begun to think about the meaning and uniqueness of English names.
Worry that your Alice is buried in thousands of Alice, or actively or passively thinking about whether to change the name.
In fact, how to take a bright English name is actually a global annoyance.
Just like Chinese duplicate names can also bring some embarrassment, and foreigners also break their hearts for taking an unconventional name.
According to the list of the most popular English names in 2021 published by naming website Nameberry:
Eloise, the number one of girls' names, is a French name meaning healthy or tolerant; Arlo, the number one of boys' names, is a multicultural name.
The Tom, Peter and Lily we are familiar with have long since disappeared into the storms of history like victory, emerald flowers and iron pillars.

Well, under the premise of not bothering others, it is still the most important thing to like yourself.
Of course, it is still necessary to pay attention here: in the Internet era, our English names still have to be taken seriously.
