天(tian) means Sky

Have you ever abandoned your English name? What was the reason?

Yes, I used to be named Vivian and Tina by my english teacher in elementary school, but I didn’t like it. There’s a singer called Skylar Grey, I really liked her voice and sky has a connection with my Chinese name, so I started to use the name Skylar since middle school.

Does your name ever give you any funny, embarrassing, or uncomfortable experiences?

It is often misspelled as “Skyler”, and then the name is unisex and there have been a few times when people thought I was a boy.

Do you prefer your Chinese name or your English name? Which name better represents your own identity?

Both are OK.
