Some chinese people will change their name in the hope of changing their luck better, or improve their luck in career or relationship.
Many celebs also changed their name before to boost their career.

Anyone have any experience in this? Does it really help in improving your life? But if the chinese name is rarely used due to nowadays people call by English name, does it really matter anymore to change the chinese name?

Any recommended good sifu that do this name changing thingy?
As what I have read online, they need to see the ba zi first before given you a new name.

I think it's stupid.

Edit: My wife tried to ask some sifu come out with an alternate but close sounding name for me. In this case, changed my english name a bit. Used for a while, but didn't like the name, so never used it soon after. Don't really see a difference also.

But to each their own.

you control your fate not your name la so hai

should appreciate the original name given by your parents, dont believe in this kind of things. If you insists, please visit any fengshui shop nearby

Ng Fatt Tat

how TS know new name will bring luck for you after you spend money?

Can name child 6 6.

Luck luck.

Yao fatt tat

Personal belief.

Someone close to me changed his Chinese name few years back. I don't think he's much better off - career and financial wise.

Instead of changing name

maybe try getting more professional qualifications

working hard

exercising

making correct career decisions

probably those are better than changing name

Unless your name is horrible in another language, its not gionna help.
I once saw a fabric name tag on a girl's bag, like those 'remove before flight' tags.....
Shi Ting
Poor girl.

If everybody can improve luck by changing name then there be no begger

Happened when I'm 10 years old. The fortune teller said I need to change name or else I wont live thru 30 years old.

I refused to change because the name sounds really funny and I confirm will get laughed at school. Now I'm 35 years old and still kicking.

same as urs. same result

I got a friend name colin tang. Mandarin meaning get 0 mark.

for me i think it helps.

some sifu use the bi-hua, some more complicated use bi-hua, bazi and sheng xiao.

UKEKE

I once wore a lucky charm to survive studying.

I'm still alive.

the only benefit to this is in the mental sense of that person.

same as getting an amulet, with whatever magical powers la - you believe, hence it's a good booster.

or getting some thai god tatoo for whatever positive stuff, it mentally changes you, it gives you hope, and you tend to associate every small things to do.

Placebo effect is real, your mental capabilities are stronger than you think, believing holds more power than you imagine.

Eat luck charms (cereals) daily?
No sure how to help increasing luck...
Just hope TS won't be Mona Fendi-ed by some witch-doctor.

I think after changing your name, you need to be writing the new Chinese name daily to achieve maximum effect.

Anyone knows what’s the market rate for bazi consultation?

Better spend more effort on your appearance and knowledge.

Those stupid celebrities using some uncommon words for new name, look retarded.

If you believe, it gives you confidence. That's an important thing.

Maybe his original name mo chi pai.
A change of name would give him the confident boost he needs.

there are people outside there first name and middle name is Chao Hai.
His surname is horse, Ma.

For my experience, I listened to my family suggestions to change my Chinese name because I got one serious disease and low chance to get fully recovery.
I feel stupid when I started using it. I even feel I need to act someone, not myself....
After surgery, I decided to tell everyone which keep contact with me that I don't wanna change my name. I just wanna be myself.
