I’ve stayed in Taiwan for 8 years, I’ve heard many people use fruits to be their English names.
我來台灣8年，聽過很多人用水果取英文名字，
Cherry is probably the most popular one. Apple is another great one, Pear, Kiwi, Peach.
Cherry（櫻桃）也是最常聽到的，然後Apple（蘋果）也很常，還有梨子、奇異果、桃子
I think it’s because they just translate their nicknames straight into English.
後來想起來，應該是他們用中文綽號來取這個英文名字
Well, Pear and Peach...it’s pretty interesting.
因為用Pear跟Peach這兩個，還蠻有趣的

I think that having a name like Shakria or Oprah or Kobe.
我覺得取英文名字叫「夏奇拉」或「歐普拉」或「柯比」
Someone who’s very known in the United States, Taiwan or anywhere.
用這些全球都很知名的明星當自己的名字
It’s hard to have a name that people relate so strongly to a specific person.
人們通常只會直接聯想到那些明星，反倒不會記住你是誰
But for example, Alyssa from Frozen was a name before Frozen was a famous movie.
反之，像是Alyssa是在電影《冰雪奇緣》爆紅前就存在的真名字
So I think that that’s ok.
用已經存在的名字沒差
That said, I’d still avoid naming your child LeBron, maybe, because a little too specific.
所以我不會幫小孩取「雷霸龍」這種名字！因為太顯眼了
