"Jian" translates to "John" pretty well, don't you think? Or how about Sean?

How about Violet? The name means a purple flower. Violet also means flower in French, Italian and Latin.
Correction: scratch Violet, because that is a girl's name. Consider "Justin", which means fair or just. The word justus comes from Latin.

By the way, it's difficult to tell from your picture, but are you a man or a woman? That would change my answer a lot! (I'm not familiar with Chinese names.)

I was wondering how "Zi Jian" is pronounced, and I thought maybe it's something like the English name "Joey." Here's a link to the origin of the name "Joey" and how popular it is: http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/1/Joey
