An Uncommon Name
My name is Weibin Tan, and the Hanzi are 谭伟斌. I have used it since I was born. I like my name because it is not common. I have only met one person whose name is the same as me until now. The important thing is that there are not any other words that can describe my name. For example, I have a friend named Guodong, and 果冻 are the same pronunciation in China. 果冻 means jelly, so we always made fun of his name. My name was given to me by my father. I heard that my parents discussed my name for three days before I was born. They told me the meaning in China is that I can study and exercise well because Bin(斌) can be divided into two parts. 文 means study, and 武 means exercise. In addition, I was not named after anyone because I am one of the older people in my generation. My cousins are all younger than me. Moreover, I have a younger brother who was named after me. His name is Weijie Tan. Finally, the word shy comes to my mind when I think about my name. I think the reason is that I am so shy. In addition, my name is difficult to write in Chinese. My last name Tan(谭) has 14 strokes, and Bin(斌) has 12 strokes. In short, this is my name’s introduction, and I do not want to change my name.
Hi Weibin, nice to see your name in Chinese again. I have never noticed that your name bin (斌) can be divided in two parts. Now I know why you are so smart, exercising and doing your homework. I also have a question about your name, since it has a lot of stokes. Did you struggle on writing your name when you were little?
ReplyDeleteYes, I didn't want to write my name anymore when I was child.
DeleteHi, weibin! It's so funny. I have the same trouble as you, and my name is also difficult to write. Yun has 15 strokes and Ting has 12 strokes. When I was a kid, it was painful for me to write my name because they were complicated, but I'm lucky my last name is simple.
ReplyDeleteHi Weibin, I think your name is very complicated to write in Chinese, but your name is very meaningful for me.
