晚安台灣人們，想來參考一下其他台灣人的意見。

我的背景: 26歲生理男台灣人IT工程師，最近換了一間美商科技公司的工作。

2個直屬主管，其中一個是中國人，另一個是英國人，人均不在台灣，現實永遠碰不到面。

MS Teams視訊工作，整個部門只有我們3個人，其他不同部門同事都是台灣人。

我前一個英文名子太菜市場在上個公司撞名了，需要一個新的英文名子。

我的條件如下:

(可選)開頭為"R"或"E"的名子。
(可選)德文起源 : 沒為啥，我就是特別對德文有興趣。
簡短有力 : 同事在會議中比較好直接叫出我的名子且不會記錯。
專業 & 不常見 : 不能太容易撞名、天馬行空。
容易發音 : 不能超過2個音節以及要非英文母語者好發音(剔除"Roderick" or "Rurik")。

Hi everyone,

I’m a 26-year-old male IT Engineer from Taiwan, currently working for a US-based semiconductor company. I’m looking to change my English name because "Eric" is just way too common in Asian business settings—there are way too many Erics in my last company alone!

I have 2 supervisors, one is Chinese and the other British. Mandarin speakers have a tendency to butcher English names especially with the "th" sound.

All my other colleagues are Taiwanese mandarin speakers.

I’m looking for something that fits the following criteria:

(Optional)Starts with "R" or "E": I want to keep the initial consistent with my personal branding.
(Optional)German origin: I'm just really interested in German. So I’m leaning towards something that sounds good with it, perhaps with a subtle Germanic or European feel.(Reiner?)
Short and sharp: so people could quickly call my name in Microsoft Teams and meetings.
Professional & Uncommon: I want to stand out in a corporate environment (especially in tech/engineering), but I want to avoid names that are too eccentric.
Easy to pronounce: My direct managers are in China, so the name needs to be easily pronounceable for non-native speakers (no complex clusters like "Roderick" or "Rurik"), no more than 2 syllables.

Any suggestions is welcome. Thanks.
