When going through some formal procedures, you still need the pinyin of your Chinese name (which must be the same as the name on your passport or green card), such as handling credit cards, bank accounts, checks, driver's licenses, enrollment and so on.

Note: the surname is a word, the last two words of the first name become a word, and the first two words are capitalized.

You can also choose your own English name to communicate.
