Hi, Youtian, and welcome! Just a bit more irrelevant  information about the name Eugene. The Spanish form for it is Eugenio, which has the word genio, meaning "genius", as part of it. More brownie points for this name, perhaps? Marianna

dear Youtian,
my suggestion is that you use your own beautiful name!
but if you are set on adopting an english/american name, may i offer:
Dawn~
it means the begining of a new day, and i find it particularly lovely;
Roi~
it refers to royalty... Roy is a man's name and is usually identified with a famous cowboy, bur Roi has an international character...
warm regards,

Youtian,
I agree with everyone else posting messages. Yours is a beautiful name, chosen by your parents ( I assume) as a gift to you. But, if you insist on an English name, may I suggest Arthur. OK, I am not sure what Arthur means. But King Arthur of legend is referred to as "the once and future king." Someday King reminds me of that phrase. Legend has it that Arthur never died, but is waiting to return to England in her time of need. So, Arthur may also be a Someday King. :o)
Good luck!
Catherine

Dear Youtian,
I have followed the trail of posts caused by your brave and thought-provoking question and would like to add my ideas to the conversation.
Your observations about initials is accurate and many people in an organisation will be referred to as A.B. or D.G. or as you point out W.C.
Initials are sometimes used to create an unusual and therefore memorable name, such as B.B. King.
I must say that some of the ideas so far need to be read out loud to a particular audience to check for unfortunate connotations or resonances. The abbreviated form of Eugene, while suggested for all the best reasons, will result in an anglicised name of Gene King, which will have many people of my generation immediately thinking of Billie Jean King, a prominent female tennis player.
The fashion for middle initials has long been established in America: John F Kennedy, Michael J Fox, George W Bush.
This suggests a very simplistic idea of a word play to convey the original meaning of your name: Will B King.
(i.e. one day this man 'will be King')
The internet gives us the ability to create many identities for ourselves. Maybe you should login to lots of different forums or chatrooms with each of your different possible names to see how people treat you differently.

Welcome aBoard - nice to see that I will not be the only NZ resident left on the Board when Capital Kiwi takes flight! May one ask how to tell the difference between any old McAllister and the_mcallister?

That was great, you sound neat, welcome aBoard, and I'm so glad our beloved Max will still have "company"! If there's anything I can do for you, please just let me know--Send
Private, if you'd like. And I think that goes for most people here.
