我是老外，试图选择中文名称。请帮助

银河兩字本來不错的，旋渦狀的银河星団颇有美感。又有大思想、宏观、气量大的感觉。只不过中文的石字卻帶有死硬、呆板、沒生气的負面意思，用石字來形容银河，不能表迏出银河的气勢、美感、或者其他令人覚得有意思的想像，不是好的组合。中文名如果能跟英文名的原來意思及發音都有一点兒呼应关係，而自己又喜欢的，最為理想。但往往很难三者兼顧，那麼只要中英文的發音互相有丁点兒关係也會比较好，这可給人一種「改得好，的確花了一点兒心思，这个中文名字活脫就是屬於你的，不是無緣無故硬生生堆砌出來的」的感觉。举个中英文發音互相有丁点兒关係的例子﹕假如阁下的英文名字叫Rabino Witz,你可以选择「衛斯理」「打边炉」。 如果碰上了中国的小孩子，你就干脆说自己的中文名字叫利賓讷好了(Ribena)，这準會逗得小朋友哈哈大笑。我們中国人也有人叫柯华田的(ovomaltine)，我在報章時事新闻中見过呢！
自己再想一想吧。

Before commenting on your suggested Chinese name, it's better for you to give us your English name first.

石银河 means stone, silver and river. Does your English name has similar meaning or not?

係，唔知你英文名，答唔到你好唔好

1a little bit weird + not make sense (has nth to do w/ your surname)
2 because according to your surname, should be 羅賓勞 or sth like that
羅=common Chinese surname
賓=n--guests/v--be polite & friendly to guests in ancient Chinese
勞=n--hard work/v--pay effort/adj-hardworking
a name that once people see, will know you are foreigner

Frankly speaking, if you are looking for a real Chinese name which could sound a bit more like our common Chinese name, you'd better choose another name because it doesn't make any sense since stone differ largely from galaxy. Also, it sounds wired. I believe

many Chinese will feel ridiculous if you tell them your Chinese name is 石銀河.

If you are choosing a Chinese name as your nickname, I advise adopting Oliver_915's suggestion of choosing 利賓納 as your Chinese name. On the one hand, it is a bit more

related to your English name "Rabinowitz". On the other hand, it doesn't sound wired or ridiculous anymore. Also, everyone knows what it is, which means this name can easily impress itself on the memory of all the Chinese.

Your Chinese name should contain the original meaning of yours'; because that'll allow to remember the original name. Your Chinese name bears the meaning of rock galaxy(石銀河) that means Rock being the surname and galaxy, the middle name. In my opinion,that is a very good name if not taking your English one into concern. and of course it does not sound weird and made sense too.

Well, it do sound a bit odd, maybe i can help you if you can tell me your name or the conditions of choosing your chinese name, but i must tell you that i may not be able to give you any better name after that.Anyway, i'm glad if i could help you.

I made the first two up by myself, the second one means kind and nice but i'm not sure what's the proper meaning of the first one, but it does sound nice in cantonese,and the third one i've tried to sub. another word in it base on what you seems to like it very much.
