Every once in a while, I'll come across people who would question the validity of my name.
"Is Jim really your name?"
I don't blame them, really, considering I have killer slit-like eyes that give my ethnicity away. I mean, I would probably do the same if I came across a Caucasian who called himself Hen Fei. That's just the way it is.
"Hen Fei, is that really your name?"
Anyway, every once so often I actually do get tempted to lie and say,
"No it isn't. It's really ___."
See, this is where I get stuck. I want to fill in the blanks with a string of Chinese words.
This is where I need your help. Give me something (in Chinese) to fill that blank with.
Examples:
"Jim? Nah, it's really Xiang Chiau Ren."
"Jim? Nah, it's really Wo Hen Pen Tan. You should try saying it!"
p/s I would score about 0/10 in a Chinese written exam and 1/10 in an aural exam (provided the script has pinyin).

Isn't Jimmy a pretty chinese name?
I think I'm the only chinese girl with a brilliant British accent in my area, which caused a costumer at the takeaway (surprise surprise) I was working at to observe: "Is this really a chinese takeaway? You sound British." ... harsh.
