Abstract: Although Chinese achieves a fairly high level on the theory and practice of proper names, some problems in proper names arise during the Sino-foreign cultural interaction. A long absence of onomastics and the limited knowledge of foreign culture are the main reasons of the phenomenon. To extricate from the predicament, we should not only reinforce onomastics research, but also make full use of the present results of the international onomastics.

Key words: proper names, translation, standardization, onomastics
