advice on Chinese name

DevorahinLA   February 8th, 2011 5:51p.m.

大家好,
I am trying to figure out a good Chinese name to use on my business cards, and would love your opinions. My English name is "Devorah" - which doesn't transliterate very easily into Chinese. I am using the "D" sound in the last name, 达.

In the past, some Chinese friends gave me the given names 慧思, but I don't like this anymore as it sounds too much like "会死"!!!

So, I've pretty much narrowed down the choices to either
达慧明 Da2 Hui4ming2 - simple, 明is a common name component, easy to pronounce, but a little boring,
or
达慧怡 Da2 Hui4Yi2 - a little more esoteric, but maybe not so easy to pronounce or sounds weird.

What do you think? 怎么样?

TIA,
Devorah
