It’s the English name I recently chose because people kept having difficulty pronouncing my Chinese name after I arrived in England last year. I really like it, but I’d be interested to hear how it comes across to others, especially Anglophones.

    Is anyone saying it’s a great name actually in the UK? Because in the UK people will think it’s a rather odd and old-fashioned name (and not in a retro way).

      I’m an American and that’s what I think of it as well. And when I first hear it, I think of a physical cliff, not a person.
