Ask the Great Xia to hand over the basic knowledge of western naming!

Westerners' names are generally divided into three parts: Christian names, self-given names (middle names) and surnames. In many cases, the middle name is omitted.

The Christian name is the name given to the baby by the priest or parents and relatives when the baby is baptized. The middle name is later taken by himself, and it should be ranked after the Christian name in order, and the surname should be ranked last.

As for the taboo of westerners' naming … it seems nothing special, as long as it is not too weird, open westerners can accept it. Westerners usually use the names of ancient celebrities or literary masterpieces, and the names of ancestors' native places, mountains and rivers, birds and animals, fish and insects, flowers and trees as Christian names, while middle names are often different variants or nicknames of Christian names. Surnames can often reflect the characteristics of landform or environment, identity or occupation, personal characteristics and so on, so surnames like Hill, Black and Smith can often be seen.
