Hi! Benny! MY email is claudia.cal@tiscali.it and I send it to you as requested to have my name in Chinese.
My name complete is CLAUDIA,(Laura ,Alida) CALISTI. Claudia, my name, means lame.(for Godness sake this is no true! as I love Dance!)and it is from Latin(claudicans). Calisti is my surname, my family name, maiden name and the only as I am single. It is from Greek(callistos) and means very very beautiful. As a matter of fact my full name means: a very beautifull lame…(ihihih!)But: as in my language my surname(as well as others surnames) can be used also as a name, first name, : Mr. Calisto or Miss Calista or Kalista, ’ud be nice to translate or write my family name in the place of my first name. Anyway:in my contry we use put more than a first name, untill 5! This is the reason why I am Claudia , Laura , Alida, C. By the way, Laura means laurel (from Latin).and Alida means warrierwoman(from German). After all that I hope not upset you!!You can choiche the name easier to write in Chinese to me so I can put it in my paintings!! Thanks a lot!

Hi Claudia, I will come up with a Chinese name. But the name will only have 3 characters. Like what I explained to you before.
