Strawberries513 -

I am going to China for a study program, and on the visa application form it asks for a Chinese
name (if any), and real name. The Chinese name that I use for myself (but have never used for
anything serious) is 乐恋飞 (乐 yue4 being the surname and 恋飞 lian4 fei1 being the given
name). I dont know if I should put this name in the application, and if it is ok to use it, is it
even a good/acceptable Chinese name? (for a girl?)

If anything is wrong with it and someone would like to suggest something else, I am open to ideas.
But I also need to know whether I am supposed to actually put this name in my application since
its not a legal name.

Thanks !!

Congratulations! On the Visa form, I would keep it simple and just leave it out. Once in China,
you can tell people to call you any Chinese name that you like. No need to put it on any
government document, which then won’t match up to any other official US document, like your
passport. On the name itself, I have no idea, but it sounds pretty. I’ll cast my vote in favor.
Good luck, and write home (I mean here) often!

Strawberries513, have you ever considered 草莓 as your Chinese name? It sounds nice, too.

In Putonghua, I think that when 乐 is used as the surname, it should be pronounced as luo4
instead of yue4.

I can confirm that in Putonghua, 乐 can be used as 2 separate surnames Yuè and Lè.

Ian Lee, 乐 as a surname has two pronunciations in standard Mandarin. See this thread, where
people seem to say that northerners habitually read it as Yue, while southerners read it as Le (or
Lao) - all fourth tone.

Am not at all a native speaker, but your name sounds really beautiful to me. Original yet credible
as a Chinese name, and it doesn't seem to mean anything strange.
Good luck in China!

Personally, I like this name 乐恋飞 Yue4 Lian4fei1. A pretty nice Chinese name!

that's a nice name! even i can't think of such a great name.
but i guess "乐 le4" sounds better
