Chinese names for English names

Daisy in Chinese: 黛西 or a real Chinese name?

What people usually get wrong is stopping at the dictionary transliteration and assuming that is their Chinese name. For Daisy, 黛西 is correct for subtitles and passports, but it still sounds foreign to native speakers. A good Chinese name should do more than copy pronunciation: it should feel natural, look balanced, suit a woman’s style, and carry a meaning people would actually appreciate. For Daisy, the best choices keep a gentle Dai- or Di- echo while adding brightness, grace, or freshness that matches the flower-like feel of the English name.
