What is Bernard?

This is Bernard:

Basic Info About Bernard

Name: Bernard Ng Jin Choon.

Name on Official Malaysian Documents: Ng Jin Choon.

Name on Baptism Certificate: Bernard Ng Jin Choon.

Name on U.S. documents: Jin-Choon Ng (used in the U.S. because people there get confused if the surname comes before the given name)

Miscellaneous Name Info: 'Ng' is actually 'Wong' in Chinese, so I am a Wong. 'Jin Choon' (it sounds more like 'Jun Choong' in Cantonese) means something along the lines of 'smarter'. Smarter than what I fear to ask. Bernard is pronounced Ber-NARD and not Ber-NERD as most Malaysians insist on saying. It is almost never abbreviated to NERD as my secondary school friends are so fond of doing, and while I may be a nerd, I'd rather not be labeled one due to poor pronunciation.

This is how Ng Jin Choon is written in Chinese:
