I think it depends.
I love my Chinese name, I really do.
And during the years I have struggled with my own Identity.
I admire those who use their own name. It's so representable. ^^
But at the end of the day...
"If I cannot even pronounce my name properly in English,
how can I expect a foreigner to pronounce it?"
E.g. Hsin <-- excuse me? is there such a pronounciation in English? -___-
In contrast, names like Ying, Mei, An etc etc can be used without problem.
Therefore it depends.
But as a sign of gratitude to my name.
My English name will not be found on ANY legal documents whatsoever.
English name = a nickname. Just for the sake of easy reference.
