First of all it is important to know that your name must be pronounced according to the way you want it. However, sometimes we are curious to find out if there is another name in English that refers to ours, as well as its pronunciation by native English speakers. It is possible to use the Google translator to find out how to pronounce a name in English.
If this is your case, know that it is possible to quell this curiosity through the Google Translator tool, which can automatically translate your name in Portuguese into English, in addition to teaching you how to pronunciation.

Let's list some names in Portuguese and their equivalents in English:
- Adriano – Adriano;
- Alfredo – Alfredo;
- Andrew – Andrew;
- Anthony – Anthony;
- Beatriz – Beatrice;
- Bethany - Bethany;
- Carlos – Carl;
- Cristovão – Chrystopher;
- Edward — Edward;
- Frederick – Frederick;
- Thiago – James;
- John — John;
- Julian – Julian;
- Loisa/Louise – Louise;
- Luke – Luke;
- Mariana – Marian;
- Marcos – Mark;
- Mary — Mary;
- Paul — Paul;
- Peter – Peter.
It is worth mentioning that not all names have a corresponding in English, mainly due to the linguistic differences between the languages.
Another important point is that no one will change your name, that is, if your name is Thiago, when introducing yourself with that name they will not call you James, for example.
That's because the names are specific to each country and person, who must decide the correct pronunciation of it.
