@jenxi i don't think I will be able to relate to that reasoning as I am not from the US but I suppose if it appeals to them....
I mean, it is just weird to me. I will kill anyone that goes around "describing" my name.
It feels patronizing. Not sure if all Chinese people feel this way, but sometimes i feel the names are translated this way to make them sound more Oriental and exotic 🙄
Like, we don't call people named Peter "the rock", for eg. so why do it to Chinese names? I don't get it
