Some time ago I asked my Taiwanese friends to give me a Mandarin name. They chose 必勝 (Bìshèng in pinyin, Pi-sheng in Wade–Giles).
It means “to be bound to win”, “cannot fail”. It is also the name of Pizza Hut in Taiwan (必勝客). This is because I’m famous for the time I ate a large Pizza Hut pizza on my own and was unwell for a whole night.

I'm extremely proud of this name.
