In Chinese, last names are generally followed from the ancestors. In Chinese families, children's last name always follow the father's last name.

The last name Sun in Chinese is one of the most common twenty last names, about 1.5% of the Chinese population. Although it is only 1.5% of the population, it is still very popular because there around 22000 Chinese last names.

My name Hui Hsing is given by my parents after I was born.

In Chinese, there are many letters pronouncing the same but written completed different and each of them has a different meaning.

The letter Hui in my name means smart and knowledge and Hsing in my name means a strong fragrance or aroma.

However, my name was not selected based on the meaning, it was related to the fortune-telling in a way as the older people in the family, such as my grandmother, believes a lot it in. The fortune-teller came up with a number of names for my parents to pick and they considered the choice of letters, the number of strokes in my name and all other considerations that I have never known. To me, I think the whole process is just too complicated.

From the article I read, I find it very interesting that British people has a much quicker way of choosing names. To me, the way British people choose names is so simple compare to how Taiwanese do. They do not need to consider tons of aspects like us which made me think it's special as I thought the process of choosing names is as complicated as us around the whole world.
