Which name is better?

[emjan]

A. Ken Lim
B. Jason Lim

Which name is better? Any comments?

Do they flow well?

Which name is more masculine?

All comments are welcomed.

Thanks

(Lim is my last name. Similar sound to limb)

[OwlAtEase]

Jason Lim is better. I think a name with more than one syllable is better with your surname. Ken Lim just sounds too abrupt and doesn't flow well.

[BadHenry]

If you're after masculine the Ken wins.

[MadameJosephine]

I agree with owl, Jason lim flows better

[justjodie92]

Jason

[MyNameIsSuz]

I think Jason too. I think you already posted about this and you're 33? Jason is a more common name for someone that age (Ken, I think, would be 20 years older than you) and won't seem unusual at all.

[CakeRattleandRoll]

Jason works best with your surname.

[TheCowThatLaughs]

Jason is better

[MamaLazarou]

Jason.

You've got so many threads about this, OP! I hope you come back and let us know what you decide.

If Lim is your surname, have you considered going by that? i.e, 'My name is Lim - please call me Lim'?

[kelda]

Jason sounds a lot better. What about Jonathan?

[Iliveinalighthousewith2friendl]

Jason. Ken doesn't really fit. As it's a kind of rule with names. You don't put a short first name and a short last name together
The general is short surname longer first name
Long surname shorter first name

Jason Lim

Jason flows well.

Ken is always Barbie's other half!

[FoofItHigh]

Ken is a 50's car salesman and Jason is a horrible dated 70/80's name.

James Lim would work better and sounds more professional.

[FoofItHigh]

Or Jonathan as pp said.

[HaleMary]

OP, you've started so many threads about this now, asking essentially the same thing, and not really seeming to take notice of responses. I forget whether you've replied to people asking you whether you have considered using your Chinese name? I have a non-phonetic fireign first name and surname myself, and work with Thai people with extremely long and complex Thai names, and we all manage...?

Jason

[reuset]

Jason Lim flows better. Two one syllable names is quite abrupt.

Thanks for all replies.

MamaLazarou, I did use Lim sometimes, but I would still want to get an English name, there are many people with last name Lim in Asia.

HaleMary, I did not start many threads asking the same questions. This is the only thread that has the name Ken. In another thread I asked for opinions about the name Jason, and I asked if my last name was easy to pronounce. I did answer the questions in other threads, I did reply that my Chinese name is not easy to pronounce if you do not know Chinese language. Roughly only about 10 to 20% of the Chinese words have similar sounds as English. You may check out this video to see how hard it is to pronounce some Chinese names: youtube.com/watch?v=cD63StcokZc
