I put English name first and followed by surname. For example, John Tan. But I did not include Ah Kao but did registered Chinese characters Tan Ah Kao. John Tan Ah Kao - First name is John, Middle name is Ah Kao then last name is Tan Tan Ah Kao John - First name is Ah Kao, Middle name is John, then last name is Tan
I choose my girl's name to follow mine. Surname first as traditionally according to my mom, she say don't forget our ancestor. Which I think it's nice to keep it that way.
it's your decision my parents put my surname in front i placed my kids english name in front
At the back. School still address their English name except Chinese lessons.
I chose the format John Tan Ah Kao... easier for the schools too. Haha
