What should I change my last name to?


My last name is "Hu". It's of chinese origin, you know the current president of the PRC has the same last name.

But the problem is, the pronunciation is ambiguous in english. People say "Who" (then they proceed to make the 'knock knock' jokes) or "Hue". The correct pronunciation is similar to the former but I would just like the change it all together.

I thought about:

Hugh, or
Hughe.

But I think that misrepresents my identity a bit because I am not caucasian at all.

I also considered ambiguous last names like:

Floy or Fox

So anybody got some good suggestions? I would really like a last name that doesn't mean anything or denote any race.. like "Steve Jobs". Johnson and Smith names are too "white for me".

I know, but I'm also looking for a business/legal career in the future, I also don't want people to discriminate based on my race (often people look at a name and won't consider you as a candidate for a client, lawyer... etc etc).

How does

Hugh Andrew Snow

Sound? people call me Andy and I think I'll leave it as a middle name.

Andrew Fox sounds professional enough. I like that one.

My personal opinion is to leave your name as it is, people won't be doing "knock, knock" jokes in your future.

How about Ha? Then people would be thinking of laughing and smile when they say your name.

people discriminate anyways based on how you look or what your name is. I would keep the surname. How would your family feel?

You could change your last name to Lau. It's a German/Asian surname. That way, people can be none the wiser and you can still maintain ethnic heritage.

UM..
