Kgarbageiz is a hindi name that means horizon, but I don't think you can pass that as an English name.

 

[Evo]

Oh, that might get caught in obscenity filters.

 

[Jimmy Snyder]

Jimmy is a nice name.

 

[Winzer]

Everyone knows that Rupert is the coolest name.

 

[turbo]

Oh, that might get caught in obscenity filters.

Certainly in the BAUT (poop) filter.

 

[turbo]

If your dog gets dirty, you can't even wash it. Well, you can, but you have to take elaborate round-about ways to describe what you did to avoid getting "poop" stuck in there.

 

[qntty]

Go with Rutherford.

 

[tianbian]

by the way in china my surname is Lin

 

[tianbian]

[tianbian]

Jimmy is a nice name.

I like the name contains a sense. (lonely.Explore.thinking.or something else

 

[tianbian]

Thank you for your help.
I already get a name
It's Reed
do you think it is ok?

 

[tianbian]

Now I consider two names
the first one is reed
the second one is bulrush
i don't know which one is better.

why i consider reed or bulrush

it is because my chinese name "葭”
the meaning is "new born reed"
the word described a scene.
A few new-born reed near by the water.
and the background is cold winter with cold wind.
and in the morning the vapour become the frost.

the new born reed in china have another meaning.
it is indifferent to everybody.
in china the new born reed can symbolize a child have a big embition it's about to discover the unknow world. go to the horizon and leave people the back.

 

[Oerg]

reed is a nice name

unlike rutherford

 

[jobyts]

Since your last name is short, I would recommend a longer first name.
What's the closest English pronunciation for your chinese name?

 

[Jack21222]

I'd go for Reed, given he option between Reed and Bulrush.

i] a name like reed or bulrush does not have the same significance in the West as it has in China … we see them as uninteresting (however, you will be in southern India, where they may have a different view)
ii] nearly everyone at OU will have an Indian name, not an English one
iii] can you pronounce the letter "r" well? if not, avoid names like Reed or Robin
iv] English boys' names don't usually mean anything … there are many English girls' names which mean flowers, or virtues, such as Daisy or Grace, but very few boys' names like Victor … we choose a name because of other people who have that name, not because of its literal meaning
v] i suggest you choose a statesman or actor whom you admire, and take his name … Winston or Nelson or John or Tom or …

Good luck, anyway!

I think Reed could work.

It would probably fit in better than Bulrush.

Also, Ken is a synonym of horizon, meaning the extent of perception, understanding, knowledge or vision, and is also a fairly common name, variation of or shortened form of Kenneth, which means 'fire-born; good looking', according to this link

English boys' names don't usually mean anything

Some groups in the USA have favored "meaningful" names, but they're usually considered eccentric. When I was young, there was a man in my church whom everybody knew as "P. H. Wolfe." Everybody used his initials, never his first name. It wasn't until after several years that we learned what the initials stood for: Pleasant Harmonious!

 

[Focus]

Go for Norbert, like Norbert Wiener.

I know a girl named Prudence and she's friends with a guy named Justice. I'm not kidding. All they need to do is meet up with people named Charity, Honesty, and Patience and they'd have the virtues pretty much covered.

Trivia: What does the B.J. stand for in B.J. Hunnicutt?

 

[Ivan Seeking]

As for looking to the horizon, I vote for "Magellan".

Trivia: What does the B.J. stand for in B.J. Hunnicutt?

I don't know. What does B.J. stand for in "A nice B.J. would really hit the spot right now"?

What? I'm talking about Ben and Jerry's. Get your mind out of the gutter!
