        • 家园 【讨论】恩,这个算是文摘

          Elizabeth, that popular, royal, English name, probably has more nicknames coined from it than any other.

          See: Babette, Bet, Beth, Bethina, Bess, Bessie, Bessy, Betsey, Betsy, Betta, Bette, Bettie, Bettina, Bettine, Betty, Buffy, Elisa, Elise, Elissa, Elisse, Eliza, Ella, Ellie, Elsa, Else, Elsie, Ilse, Lib, Libbie, Libby, Lil, Lilian, Lillie, Lilo, Lily, Lilybet, Lilybeth, Lis, Lisa, Lisabet, Lisabeth, Lisbet, Lisbeth, Lise, Lisette, Lissa, Liz, Liza, Lizabeth, Lizbet, Lizbeth, Lize, Lizette, Lizolet, Lizza, Lizzie, and Lyssa.

          In the United States, almost twice as many women are named with a diminutive of Elizabeth, than are named Elizabeth (and Elizabeth has consistently been one of the most popular English names for several centuries).

      • 家园 加一个:David->Dave
    • 家园 Aaron是最常见的男名,照例源于圣经。

      英语系中最常见的男女名都是源于圣经的,rebecca, sara, joshua, david之类的。Aaron也不例外。

    • 家园 中国人取洋名字有一个问题

      洋人是共名异姓,无穷多的Jack、Mary,但last name大多各不相同;中国人是共姓异名,张王李赵满天飞,但名字都是各取个的。中国人取洋名,人数少的话问题不大,人一多,那Peter Wang、Mary Zhang就重名的太多了。

      • 家园 用拼音也怪

        中国人就算不用洋名,用拼音也怪,像那姓何,姓佘的。一个女的组员姓何,中文没什么,英文就好玩了-- He is our group member.

        一个男的老板姓佘--She is my boss.堂堂的大男人变性喽。

        • 家园 类似的笑话多了

          胡锦涛刚上台的时候,就有Who is Hu的笑话,现在当然没人笑了。名字里有x、uu(或者MSPY中的v,发“余”)、zh什么的,洋人都怵头。

    • 家园 这老兄打八十可占便宜了。
    • 家园 【原创】洋名趣谈(4) -- 车灯与兵工厂

      中国人的名字大多都是有讲儿的。老外的名字就是一个记号。这句话在大多数情况下是正确的。 例如这里说到的这位老兄,名字里一个“斌”字,能文能武的,别人叫着朗朗上口,自己也觉得父母给的名字有文采有内涵,实在是不错。

      可是要起洋名了咋办,翻遍了字典也没有相应的名字能体现这个意思。没关系,意思相近的没有我还不能找个发声相近的?Bin太俗气是肯定放弃不用的,找来找去终于给找到了一个,咱就叫做Beam如何?

      这名字起好了大家都挺为他高兴的,好写好记又基本上还是保留中文名字的发音,字典上一查还有“容光焕发”的意思,马不停蹄地到人事部申请,第二天就带着新badge荣光焕发的上班了。

      可是我的老板有一次悄悄地问我,“这个家伙怎么叫汽车头灯呢?真是个怪名字”。唉,看来起洋名让每个人满意实在是太难了。

      另外一个就更绝了,他中文名字里有一个“森”字,大家伙儿叫他“阿森”已经很久了,自己也很是喜欢这个颇有人情味的昵称。在起洋名的时候就琢磨上了,一定要保留这个好名字。加上本人也是一个英超的球迷,且是阿森纳队的忠实拥趸,所以就毫不犹豫地起名叫Arsenal。报到人事部门里人家一看这名字不错,就给批了,从此“阿森”就成了Arsenal,叫快了还是“阿森”,皆大欢喜。

      又是我的老板觉着别扭,有一次闲聊问起我“他怎么叫这么怪的一个名字呢?”我就把名字的来历给他解释了一番,他才恍然大悟,这才明白原来世界上有一支叫做阿森纳的足球队。只是我老板的目光里还是有点狐疑,“他难道不知道Arsenal的含义是什么吗?要不你让他查查字典?“

      别说他,连我自己都只知道这个名字是球队的名字,一查字典不得了,得出的结论还真是爆炸性的,这Arsenal翻译过来就是兵工厂,难怪我老板那副疑惑的表情,可惜了一个多么温馨的名字啊。
