[quote=LOSANG ,12789]Yeshi,Tashi DelekYou won't have any problems for having a Tibetan name of for wearing Tibetan clothes. Your friends have come across trouble because they illegally left China and entered Nepal and then onto India. Many Tibetans cross the border of Tibet to Nepal and they often get into trouble when they cross back into Tibet. I have had many friends put in jail for doing this.As far as your situation goes, you will have no problem. There is no law in China against having a Tibetan name (who's going to know anyway except your daughters grandparents?) and there is no law against wearing Tibetan clothes.Qinghai province is home to over 1 million Tibetan people. Though Xining is not a "Tibetan" city, there are still many Tibetans in the city (about 30,000). Many of the Tibetans who live in Xining do not wear their Tibetan clothes, but if you did it wouldn't seem too out of place. Out on the grasslands or in the Kham area of Yushu most people will be wearing Tibetan clothes.[/quote]
