Many Western people who learn Chinese, either in Taiwan or mainland China, also adopt Chinese names. Nevertheless, with the necessity of frequent and accurate communications and the popularity of immigration, it is perhaps time to discuss what may be the best way for Chinese people to Romanize or Westernize their names while retaining their culture and traditions.
許多在台灣或中國大陸，甚或只是因學中文的西方人士也入境隨俗地取了姓在前名在後的中文名字，但在國際間交流、移民越來越盛的情況下，究竟中國人用什麼名字最好？最能代表自己和母國文化，卻是值得深入討論的議題。
