My full name is Zaiheng Shen it means careful powerful and rich in Chinese culture. My grandfather gave me that name.
Yes I have serval times that I feel embarrassed by my name, because my first name is really hard to pronounce it gives other people a hard time to pronounce it. When professor try to sign in they seems to be very confused when they see my name, I think it’s really embarrassing.
No I have not changed my name, because I just don’t care to. But sometimes I will let people call me by my last name because it’s easy to pronounce and makes more sense. Because my last name is really rare in China, there is not a high chance that others will have the same last name. I’m okay with people call me by my last name.
