Thiago in Chinese: 蒂亚戈 or a real Chinese name?

When people look up their name in Chinese, they often find only a transliteration like 蒂亚戈. That form is correct for foreign celebrities or official references, but it does not feel like a real Chinese given name. A good Chinese name for Thiago should sound natural to native speakers, suit a male name style, and keep some echo of the original without forcing every syllable. The best choices also carry clear, positive meanings and work smoothly in everyday life.
