Calling myself names..

I pre-empted a problem and the problem really surfaced.. the ang mohs really cannot pronounce my name.. some of them are really nice and they tried to get my name correctly pronounced but some just make fun of it.. i don't wanna change what my parents gave me but i also dun wanna them go around laughing about it. So here are some of my choices:

- Jay Zee [JZ] (which is highly discouraged since there is this rapper out there.. it will be akin to a girl calling herself madonna)
- CT [Ching Tian - my dialect name] (but it sounds cheezy)
- Chris (i always like the name chris)
- Julian (i always like the name julian)

- Jin (pronounced as "Gin" - is it cheezy?)
- Open to suggestions

Help...
