主播：翩翩、Bipasha上一期节目，我们聊到“如何给男生取英文名”。节目最后，我们答应给大家一个“彩蛋”——回复大家的留言。今天，翩翩和Bipasha就来给大家送“彩蛋”了。“一席文化”公众号留言：--How about the girl’s name Freya？Answer: Freya is a very cute name for a girl.It has not negative connotation（没有消极负面的含义）.--我想给我家未来的狗狗取名叫：CharlieAnswer: Charlie is definitely a very cute name for anyone.（谁叫Charlie都好听。） --见过几个奇奇怪怪的英文名: Water/Tiger/BirdThose are names to identify objects and not people.It definitely should not be used to name someone.（Water，Tiger，Bird这些名字不能用于人。）人类不要跟食物，动物，东西抢名，哈哈。--Thea这个名字呢？Answer: Thea is a beautiful name. It’s based on a biblical character maybe. （这个名字可能来自《圣经》）.--How about River？Answer: Bipasha’s name is also associate with the river. （Bipasha的名字就与印度的河流有关。）But the word river itself is not the best name to name anyone.（“river”这个词本身含义很好，但是，“river”作为名字，不是特别好的选择。）如果你非常喜欢“河流”的寓意，或许你可以选用“Bipasha”的名字哦。--女生名呢？Answer: Here it is. By the time you are listening to this, it should be out.关于女生的英文名，我们已经录好了哦，敬请期待。--摩西是大人物，挪亚也是大人物啊。Answer: Moses and Noah are definitely biblical names.（Moses和Noah的确是《圣经》中的人物。）And the two names are not so commonly given to young boys anymore.（年轻人叫这两个名字的不是很多。）可能是因为“Moses”带有一点神话色彩，现在很少有人会叫Moses，但Noah这个名字还是比较常见的。--亲爱的翩翩老师，朋友们强烈要求来份女生版的Answer: We have already recorded a podcast on girl’s names and it should be posted soon.很快就要更新喽，请继续关注。--阔以选 Circle 为英文名么？希望小编帮我解答。Answer:Wedon't think circle is the best English name to give.“圈圈”这个名字，在汉语里听起来很可爱。但，选用“Circle”作为英文名，就非常奇怪了。这就好像说，“这是我的朋友，正方形（square）。”或者，“这是我的朋友，长方形（rectangle）。”--我一直很想知道，取名字可以自己用字母组成新的词来命名吗？Answer: That is definitely possible.是可以的。A lot of people nowadays have begun combining their names with their spouses to create a cute unique name for their baby.现在有很多人，会组合配偶的名字，来为自己的孩子取一个独一无二的名字。但有时候，因为不了解英语的文化，自己取的名字，并不能算是一个真正意义上的英文名字。我们下一期节目“女孩英文名”中，关于“如何取名字”有更深入的讨论，请大家继续关注。网易云留言：--Zoey这个怎么样？Answer: Zoey is one of Bipasha’s favorite names. It has a really nice ring to it. （听起来很好听。）Also, it is quite a common name in western countries.（在西方国家也很常见。）女生可以取名叫Zoe，男生可以取名叫Zoey。--想要谐音中文名取英文名怎么办呢？Answer: To be honest, it works sometimes and not always .（有时是可以的，但不总是可以。）Bipasha给出的建议是：To get a second opinion on the name you come up with, with someone who knows English names to make sure it does not sound or mean anything weird.（和懂英文名字的人请教一下，确保自己起的英文名听上去不奇怪。）--翩翩，我想取一个关于月亮的名字，我的中文名字最后两个字是玥玥。Answer: In English it will sound a bit weird if you name yourself “moon” , but there are lot of other names that mean moon.
