Adding English Name Only

[myfs_131801]

Hi Master,

I go by my English name most of the timethese days and would like to make it 'legitimate' with a deed poll. I am perfectly happy with my Chinese name and have no intention of changing it. My only concern is, will adding my English name to my full name have any impact on my Feng Shui, geomancy, etc? I have read that a name change usually brings about a change in luck and fate, hencemy hesitancy in going ahead with it without expert advice. Is my case considered a name change? Please advise. Thanks!

Your Five Element Breakdown

0 Weak Water 2 Strongest Wood 4 Strong Fire 3 Extremely Weak Earth 3 Weakest Metal 0% 28% 45% 8% 17% This tells me that you are a Weak Metal because of too little Earth (8%). Your element is born in a season which is makes Metal Element Weakest. Thus, influencing the element strength of the other five element elements. The percentage of each element is considered after considering the seasonal strength and the number of that element present. Thus, your favourable elements are Earth (8%) and Metal (17%) Elements. Wood (28%) is your wealth element. However, as you are a Weak Metal, you first need to be stronger in order to control your wealth element. Based on the percentage of the Five Element of each of your favourable element. You should attempt to enhance the favourable element with least percentage, followed by the favourable element with the next lowest percentage. As Weak Metal, your favourable elements are Earth (8%) / Metal (17%) . Earth (8%) is your most favourable element. Metal (17%) is your next most favourable element. Your unfavourable elements are Fire (45%) / Water (0%) / Wood (28%). Fire (45%) is your most unfavourable element. As you have too much of Fire, it is best to avoid it having too much more. Wood (28%) is your next unfavourable element. Water (0%) is your least unfavourable element. You have a very unbalanced Five Element distribution. Often, this produces signs of a person with several possible health problems. You have 0% Water element. This often signify possible Health related problems to the Kidney and Sex Organ. The ideal balance of each element is generally 20% of each element. However, it is difficult to achieve exactly 20% of each element. This is because it is difficult to know exactly how much of each element you have at any point in time. So as long as you have more of your favourable elements, you will improve your balance and harmony.

In the above, chart, one notices that for Mr Lee Peng Tat; the breakdown of his Five Elements when he was born are as follows:-

0 Water = 0 %

2 Strong Wood = 28 %

4 Strong Fire = 45 %

3 Extremely weak Earth = 8 %

3 Weak Metal = 17 %

Traditionally, when we are born, some Chinese parents or even grand parents would bring our date and time of birth to a geomancy to recommend names for example: this newly born male child.

One of the factors that the geomancer will look at is something like above i.e. the child's 5 elements.

In the above example, one can from a quick glance see that the child already have too much "fire" in his chart. The child lacks water and secondly earth element.

All Chinese characters (or names) can be classified under one of the five elements: Water, Wood, Fire, Earth or Metal.

Thus, the geomancer will help to select a good name, based on the above consideration and other factors. For example, you can read the sample of how Robert Lee does name analysis:-

Traditionally, name selection usually is during the time a child is born and a CHINESE (Mandarin) name is selected accordingly.

In many countries like Singapore, many people conduct business in English and often if we don't use the Chinese name, even if we do change our name... it is of lesser relevance.

In your case, if you do a deed poll to updated to your new ENGLISH name, there is no issue, here. BUT, if you were to try to convert this new ENGLISH name to a Chinese (Mandarin ) name, then, you may consider getting help to get a proper Chinese name especially if one is going to add the name to one's Chinese name card or deed poll.

Generally, if one does not often use one's Chinese name, then no need to get a Chinese name or add it to your name card.

For those who are not Chinese, but who may want to get a Chinese name, may do so, but try to seek help from a geomancer to recommend a name for you.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
