[TheIdioticIdiot]

why do want to translate, after I just spelled it out for you?
understanding the meaning is one thing, pronouncing it is another (I suppose I should have said "pronounce" instead of "read"...)

Google Translate does that too.

correctly being the key word here

K, Eric.

>.<

meh, thats how my dad wanted to call me at first and my mom fred. so i guess its a " i meet you half way"  thing

"Han Qiu". You ain't the only Chinese here.

You'll never know my Chinese name. Ever. Unless you have Shinigami eyes.

and now we need the correct tones
and americans (most of them, and no, I am not being racist here) can't pronounce correctly if you just give them "Han Qiu"
and I know u r chinese (I read the OP...)

screw whatever eye... I have a mindgate necklace

You never said correctly, therefore it is not a key word

And really, once you've seen the name it isn't hard to pronounce at all. Goes with any language.

Damn plagiarists.

meh... how could I have not typed "correctly..."
and it's actually harder than u think to pronounce... most americans who saw my name in english (Han Qiu) have serious trouble

screw whatever eye... I have a mindgate necklace

Damn plagiarists.

I knew I saw that from somewhere...

[Bloodshadow]

and now we need the correct tones

I'll use "- / v \" to represent the tones. The tone of the first one is "\" and the second one is "-". Unless you're Cantonese or something...

and now we need u to explain it to the general public (english) what these means...

My first name is Faizal, and some people usually shorten it to be Faiz.
But when I communicate with international people like you guys, you can spell my name as "Fuyzle" instead of "Faizal".
