Chinese names for English names

Weston in Chinese: 韦斯顿 or a real Chinese name?

What people usually get wrong is assuming the Chinese version of their name should just be a character-by-character sound match. For Weston, that gives you 韦斯顿, which is correct for documents but still feels foreign in everyday Chinese. A good Chinese name should sound easy to say, fit a male given name naturally, and carry a solid meaning. For Weston, names built around wei, wen, or sen sounds work especially well because they echo the original while still feeling like real Chinese names.
