My teacher gave me my Chinese name when I was in secondary school when he was drinking with my father.
my teachers never drank with my father...
as several people have said, these days people don't expect non-natives to take a local name in western countries.
i would go one step further and suggest that it can sound a bit too cute and old-fashioned.
also, that choosing a name often doesn't work. what people end up calling you is often the name you end up taking.
feel free to educate us in chinese names, rather than expect the reverse.
have you ever noticed how names go with personalities?
from reading your posts, i would say you are an arthur, if it came to a nickname. wisdom is important with this name, and from your obvious wisdom when it comes to women, you should feel free to take this name.
