For example, Q, the Chinese pinyin pronounces the sound of "qi", but in English, if Q is at the beginning of the word, it is often connected with U and pronounces the English consonant K. If your surname is "Qian, Qin, Qi, Qiu", etc., the first letter of Chinese Pinyin is Q. When Americans see that the first letter of the Chinese pinyin of these surnames is Q, they guess that it probably sounds like the English consonant K, right? So weird sounds such as "KIAN, KIN, KI, KIU" came out of their mouths, which had nothing to do with the original Chinese pronunciation. Surnames starting with C in Chinese Pinyin also have this problem. Your surnames are Cao, Cai, Cui, and Cong. When Americans speak of them, they become "Kao, Kai, Kui, and Kong." You can't correct them at all, because that's how it's pronounced in English. CH, ZH, Z, etc. in Chinese Pinyin do not have corresponding similar pronunciations in English. If your surname is "Zhao, Zhou, Zheng, Zhu, Zhang, Chen, Chu, Zuo, Zou", etc., I'm afraid don't expect Americans to pronounce the Chinese correctly according to Hanyu Pinyin, and it will be even more difficult for them to remember. My wife’s surname is Zuo, and the Chinese pinyin is ZUO. You see, Americans' mouths are trembling and they just can't pronounce the word "left". Later, my American colleagues simply pronounced my wife’s last name as ZOO—Zoo. Hey, don’t make it too difficult for others to be “old and beautiful”. But is it good for Chinese people to use Hanyu Pinyin for their surnames? There are pros and cons. Since you have already used it this way, don’t keep changing it again and again. And I know that more and more Americans already know Chinese Pinyin, and can pronounce X, CH, ZH, Z, C, Q, etc. more correctly. It seems that English will also have many "foreign language" pronunciations from China in the future.
