My husband is Chinese as well - so we ALSO have to think about Chinese names too!! I want one which sounds ok in English... My husband had a guy at his school called Wan King Man - I want to avoid ANYTHING like that!! Hopefully come up with something that actually sounds somewhat NICE in English... we're designating my husband's parents to write us some suggestions as well...

For the "English name" on the birth cert, I want to JUST write the English name, NOT the romanisation of the Chinese name. Is that ok?? Does anyone know?? I want to give an English first name, an English middle name - but NOT write the Chinese romanisation. Then when it says "Chinese name", JUST write the Chinese name in Chinese... Is that acceptable over here??
