My Chinese Name

So it's been a long time coming but I've finally given my self a Chinese name. Chinese people often give themselves an English name that they use around English speakers. This is partly because some Chinese names are very difficult for us English speakers to pronounce/remember (ex -Liu Yicun...trust me, you're pronouncing it incorrectly) or they cause English people to giggle uncontrollably which must be very irritating (ex. Long Wang...sigh, I still can't stop giggling...when will I grow up?). In this light I've decided it would be fun to give myself a Chinese name and I've decided on Deng Xu Hu (pronounced dung shoe who). Deng is the Chinese equivalent of the Dun part of Duncan and it is also the family name of the Chinese leader that came after Mao Ze Dong (Deng Xiao Ping). I've been reading about him lately and quite admire his accomplishments. Xu Hu translates into, lol, "morning tiger", which I think is awesome/hilarious. I can't quite separate the mental image of Hobbes (of Calvin and Hobbes) and real tigers. This leads to images of me yawning and stretching as I awake and then roaring as I pounce out of bed into a position ready to attack. It's probably a good thing that nobody actually has access to my brain except for me...it would be a bit confusing :)
