 | This is becoming very confusing to me. If we can make things easy for the rest, maybe western people can try a little too. What about western people... Can we have a chinese adopted name?? |

| Hi, Rita, First of all, the western who choose her/himself a Chinese name, loves your China. Second, as said a Chinese friend, a second name is signal of luck. My Chinese name is ren2ke1rui4, something like “person of sharp science”. I don’t know if is a good name, but it is my name. What do you think about this? |

| Hi, Rita Your english name was very well choosed. Do you know its meaning? Rita: Diminutive of Margaret, or Margherita - Italian (Daisy). It makes reference to the definitive attitudes related with the tenacity and the force of will. It’s is proper of people who extremely sacrifices him/herself when they are convinced of that they have a reason for this. Of the Italian "it is popular form of Daisy". In Brazil, there is a flower named Rita (Margarida). It's the flower choosed for the lovers to check if one really loves the other. Did you like of its meaning? |

| Well , english name is easier to remember and pronounce for foreign friends . I think it is a kind of respect. Meanwhile it is a singal to show our friendly attitude to their culture. |

| Thank you so much, Croberto, for the explanation of 'Rita', I like it very much, especially the part "In Brazil, there is a flower named Rita (Margarida). It's the flower choosed for the lovers to check if one really loves the other.", it is so sweet:) I guess your name in Chinese is 仁科锐:) |

| Rita, How you like my explanation, let me continue it: The marguerite flower (MARGARIDA - RITA- DAYSY) has a lot of petals. To know if He loves you, you take this flower, take off one petal and say: "bem me quer (he wants me well). Then you take off another petal and say "mal me quer (he wants me badly). And repeat one sentence, and after another, until to remain only one petal. The sentence of this last petal is your destiny: he loves you or he don't loves you, depending on if is WELL or BADLY. You understood, didn't you?  |
