Smile What would your [insert language] name be, if it was translated into english?

The title says it all.
Ex: my chinese name translated into english (translated by how it sounds) would be:
Li Jie Ci (or chi)
[Last Name, First name] and middle name...if you have one =]

Talking

My Vietnamese name isn't on my birth certificate, but it would be (last name, middle name, first name) Le Truong Thien Thu Deborah (pronounced kinda like Lay True-on Teen Two Debra).

Thien Thu roughly translates as Heaven Library/Letter. Ironically, one of the career choices I was looking into was Children's Librarian XD

My Chinese Name: Chen Qing Shan

Mountain in the Spring. You know around spring time when a mountain is filled with grass?
Hence Qing = Green, Shan = Mountain. Chen's the last name.

Pretty cool since I had a someone from China explain that to me. xD

My Chinese name is:

Wang Lin

Which is basically my name in America. Wang as in "emperor" and Lin as in "beautiful jade."

It's supposed to be this clever little play on names--my mom's maiden name is Lin (meaning "forest") and my dad's family name is Wang (as in emperor) and if you put them together, you get Lin with a different meaning.
