Yiwen...
After a lot of dithering, I've finally chosen a Chinese name for myself. It took me a while to come up with something Chinese, related to my English name, and that had a meaning that I like. A lot of Westerners with a name related to Stephen will choose "Si1di4fen1" as their Chinese name, as it sounds quite close. However, the name has three characters, while most Chinese only have two characters for their first name, and one for their family name.
I was fliping through my Chinese text and came across the name Yi4wen2 (意文). If you think about it, my Chinese name sounds like the last part of my English one if you turn the [v] to a [w]. I also like that the name has the connotation of knowledge, books, and learning. Yi4 can have the sense of idea, meaning, and wish, while wen2 can have the sense of language, culture, and writing.
