Pls give me some advise about English name.

Hi Friends,
My Chinese name is Guochun Zhang. Could you help me find a good English name which has similar pronunciation to my first name Guochun, read as ('guo 'tsun).
The meaning of my first name is "country" and "spring" in Chinese.

My former English name "Vic" sounds like a childish boy, isn't it?

TIA.
Regards,
Vic Zhang

Most of my Chinese students use Western names - and it definately makes my life easier. 'Gordon' is a possible choice, and I've taught lots of Gavins, but som

PS - 'Advise' is a noun. Your heading should read 'please give me some advice'.

Thank you Einde.
Yes. I am a male. I'd thought the name Vic is the nickname of Victory.

It looks as though DC had a good Saturday evening - he means, of course, that 'advise' (pronounced /@d'vaIz/) is the verb and 'advice' (/@d'vaIs/) is the noun.

Hi,
Thanks you all.
Since the name Vic is not a childish name, I would go on to use it as my English. I want to find a right English name because is
seems hard for English speaker to read my Chinese name. My name's pronunciation is not as simple as Yao Ming.
Some westerners have their Chinese name. But most of them are famous people in China.

Yes, you should. It's not childish at all. IT's a nickname for "Victor" which means "Winner". I think that's a great name. The feminine version is Victoria.

BTW, how difficult is it to pronounce my name, Enrico (the Italian equivalent for Henry), for English speaking people? Would a shorter nick such as Enry or Ric be easier?
