If those names are terminology, you can use those most people used.
For your own name, that would be your decision.

Well, it doesn't matter how it LOOKS.
and I don't think that was barely politically correct.
Chinese was pronounced slightly or very differently in the world.
If you translate a chinese name in Singaporean, Malaysian and Chinese styles,
all can be different from what we have been used in Taiwan.
It doesn't matter which one is used, but you would like that is the one
which can best reflect your pronounciation in your homeland, because your
name is what your family, friends and other people know you.
It is no point to use a foreign translation style (Chinese,
Malaysian...etc) just because of you want to be easily 'recognised'.
Anyway, even so, that would be your decision, to choose which one...
Similarly, in Taipei city, the road names were translated in 'Chinese' form.
This is quite non-sense, because they would be pronounciated differently
from what Taiwanese native speakers would do.
The reason they explained this was that would be easier for foreigner to
recognise the roads (presuming most of them learnt Chinese Chinese).
which is quite ridiculous and non-sense.
Surely, that cost a lot of PhD tuition fee to change the name of the roads...
Anyway....
A few years ago, when I was not better than the original author and got same
problem. I just chose WG (can not remember the name) form. To be honest,
I had never recognised it was correct and exactly the pronounciation of my
name, until one day, my supervisor pronounciate my name based on his
knowledge of spelling. I was so wonder that was exactly what I was called.
I had never heard my name for at least few years then... So, it is correct.
What I tell you this story is because..
You might think the translation is ridiculous and not correct.
However, is your English pronounciation good enough to judge this?
Be very careful, as once the name set, you can hardly change it.
I would suggest you get a foreigner who don't know your name
to pronounciate it for you.
Good luck.
: 在國外，很多中文的英譯跟通用拼音很不一樣
: 以『鄭』來說，大多人都是用cheng
: 外交部卻硬改成jheng
: 還看過有星人用通用拼起後，根本看不懂怎麼去發音，還有些看起來很像韓文的發音
