Making Your Own Chinese Name

More and more international friends seek for their own Chinese names when learning Chinese becomes a fashion trend. One of my customers said that he would like to name himself 'Emperor John' and it took me quite a while to figure out its Chinese version. Emperor is Huangshang in Chinese, and I made Huang (Yellow) your last name, it is one of the most common last names in China, you should also know that Yellow is the special color for the emperors. So Huang is the last name, Shang is uniquely used as one part of your given name (we can have one character or two as the given name), it means aspirations literally. Han is from your name John, John is translated into Yuehan, I take Han so the whole name sounds more beautiful. When people say the whole name (黄尚翰), Huang and Shang come together and give an impression of saying Emperor. Isn't it cute?
