It’s the English name I recently chose because people kept having difficulty pronouncing my Chinese name after I arrived in England last year. I really like it, but I’d be interested to hear how it comes across to others, especially Anglophones.

Older folks might think you’re making a reference to Cliff Richard, a guy who is quite famous here, so expect that to come up every now and then.
Lots of people really don’t like the guy, or think he’s a bit cringe-worthy, but others regard him fondly.
Anyway, like yourself, Cliff isn’t his real name, but most people know him by it.
Do with this knowledge what you will.
