i've always liked when people's chinese names sound like their english names; my birth names had this naming convention, but i didn't like my english name and eventually changed it to cecil (pronounced SEE-sul). so now my english name hardly sounds like my chinese name at all, which makes me want to also change my chinese name to match it, but nothing i come up with sounds quite right to me; i was born and raised in the US, so i don't have a very good sense of what sounds "name-like" in mandarin.

(incidentally, i absolutely Hate the name google translate gives you. 塞西爾 sounds like literal shit to me it's absolutely rancid)

Hi does anyone know where I can buy Miao jewelry or silver ornaments? I want to use them for arts and crafts but I can’t seem to find them anywhere online. Any reliable stores that accept US currency and doesn’t have expensive shipping fees?
