More and more Chinese are having English names,but not everyone is good at finding one.Why not offer them some help?An American girl called Lindsay Jernigan is now teaching people how to get better English names.
While working in Shanghai,Lindsay met many Chinese people with strange English names.Some of them chose a lucky number of"Seven,"a favorite fruit,"Apple,"and a cartoon character,"Snow White."Others had names like"July"and"Rabbit."
After noticing the problem,Lindsay had an idea.She quit her job and set up a website (bestenglishname.com) to help Chinese people get better English names.
The website helps people in two ways.After they take an online quiz,people will get five English names based on their personal information,such as age,job and even future plans.This costs 18yuan.People can also meet with Lindsay to talk about their English name.But that costs more.
Now,about 2,000people each day visit the website.Most of them are preparing to study or work abroad.Lindsay is planning to offer them more help,such as helping them write resumes(简历).
