Hi Benny! My name is from Latin (old Italian ’cause I am Italian)and it has a bad meanings : Claudia/o means lame! On the contrary my family name sounds very good: it means very beautiful and cames from the Greek Callistos.How can I translate in Chinese?When I made my paintings copied from chinese artists I like to sign them in China writing. Till today I had been writing translating my surname such as: hen hen piaoliangde.(copying writing from a dictionary!). I immagine that this is not correct! thanks for help!

Hi Claudia, you need to Choose a Chinese Character as your family name. Then choose the other 1 or 2 Chinese Characters as your second name.

Your name can’t only be translated into Chinese literally which has no meaning.

Therefore please give me your email adress and your full name so that I can come across a real Chinese name for you.
