My
English
Name
-
Lily My
Chinese
name
is
玲玲
(Lingling),
but
when
I
moved
to
the
United
States,
I
decided
to
choose
an
English
name
for
myself.
After
some
consideration,
I
chose
the
name
Lily. I
love
the
name
Lily
because
it
is
simple,
sweet,
and
timeless.
The
word
"lily"
comes
from
the
Greek
word
"lilium,"
which
means
pure
or
innocent.
In
many
cultures,
the
lily
is
a
symbol
of
purity,
beauty,
and
grace.
It
is
also
the
flower
associated
with
the
month
of
May,
which
happens
to
be
the
month
of
my
birth. Choosing
an
English
name
was
not
an
easy
task.
I
wanted
a
name
that
was
easy
to
pronounce
and
spell,
but
also
had
a
deeper
meaning.
I
did
research
on
different
names
and
their
meanings,
and
finally,
I
settled
on
Lily. When
I
first
introduced
myself
as
Lily,
some
of
my
friends
and
colleagues
found
it
hard
to
pronounce
at
first.
But
I
patiently
corrected
them
and
soon
enough,
everyone
got
used
to
my
new
name.
In
fact,
many
of
my
friends
now
tell
me
that
they
think
Lily
is
a
perfect
name
for
me. Having
an
English
name
has
also
helped
me
to
better
assimilate
into
American
culture.
It
makes
it
easier
for
me
to
communicate
with
others
and
allows
me
to
feel
more
connected
to
the
people
around
me. Overall,
choosing
an
English
name
was
a
significant
decision
for
me.
I
am
happy
with
my
choice
of
Lily,
and
I
feel
that
it
reflects
who
I
am
as
a
person
-
someone
who
is
pure,
