My Chinese friends at MBA also had English names. Back then I found it good that they have easier-to-remember English names. Now, however, I feel that it's an insult to the entire Chinese nation that Chinese people conventionally keep/have to keep separate, English names in order to "cater to" the Western world who find it difficult to remember Chinese names. Take prestige in your culture and your language. Don't adopt Western first names.
