A netizen pointed out the importance of choosing a good English name to avoid sounding old, sparking a discussion online about names like 'George' and 'Mary' being perceived as old-fashioned. Suggestions for 'old-sounding' names included 'Mike,' 'Tom,' 'Max,' 'Stanley,' 'Andy,' 'Frank,' 'Richard,' and 'Kevin' for males, and 'Nancy,' 'Mary,' 'Jessica,' 'Julia,' 'Lucy,' and 'Anny' for females. Some names like 'Cherry,' 'Candy,' 'Bunny,' as well as brand names like 'Gucci,' 'Puma,' and 'Nike' could also have unintended meanings when used as English names. It's advised to choose carefully to avoid embarrassment.
