Help me to find a good Chinese name!
Hi!
My name is Elise (the English version is Alice) and I'm looking for a good Chinese name. I used to have a Chinese name which was: 爱林丝, but I'd like to have another one. I don't really like the use of 爱 as a surname. It sounds a bit cliche or even mellow...
Some of my friends really of beautiful names like 洋小芬, her real name Sophie, so this name is not based on pronunciation, but rather on her character. I would like to find this kind of name for me as well.
I'll give you some words that relate to my personality to make it easier to find a suitable name: strong, positive, cheerful. (and a bit stubborn sometimes, but doesn't need to be reflected in the name...)
Thank you for helping me!
I really think that having a Chinese name really makes it more easy to interact with Chinese people, because they are likely to remember your Chinese name.
Greetings,
Elise
My favorites right now are:
李小艾 (I do not know what 艾 means...)
李雪馨
伊利 (Isn't it a problem that it is a brand of milk? I would not like to be known as the Milk Girl...)
林雨音
林晨影 (I really like these two names. They are very poetic...I'm wondering if they do not sound too pretentious or corny?)
文澜 (I like the sound of this name, but I do not know the meaning.)
It's still difficult to pick one. So I'm very sorry to keep on asking, but I think it's important to find a good name. One of my absolute favorites is: 李雪馨 . But I'd like to know if it is possible to change 馨 xin into another word that has the meaning of warmth. I'm interested in a name with a juxtaposition of cold & warm. For example: "snow&sun" "雪&?". Just to have a contrast within the name... I do not know if this is possible, so if I'm asking too much, please ignore this question!
Thank you all!

You could use 林 as your surname. The 林 came of a prime minister named 比干 in feudal China. He was a faithful and stubborn man.
You could be named 林雨音. It means the sound of the rain in the woods. It sounds beautiful.
Or named 林晨影. It means the shadow of the woods at morning. It is also positive.
