× Yes it is. My mother told me that my name means someone who can protect myself or his her family when I was young.
✓ Yes, it is. My mother told me that my name means someone who can protect himself or her family when I was young.
The reflexive pronoun 'myself' is incorrectly used here; it should be 'himself' or 'herself' to correctly refer to the subject 'someone'. Also, 'his her' is incorrect; it should be 'his or her' to indicate both genders.
× I'm sure that my choice will depend on sound of name, because I assume and I think that sound of name will influence on character of child.
✓ I'm sure that my choice will depend on the sound of the name, because I assume and think that the sound of the name will influence the character of the child.
The phrase 'depend on sound of name' is missing articles 'the'. Also, 'influence on character' should be 'influence the character' without 'on'. Articles are necessary for clarity and correctness.
× No, in my family I'm a single child, so only I have name Sasha.
✓ No, in my family I'm an only child, so only I have the name Sasha.
'Single child' is incorrect; the correct phrase is 'only child'. Also, 'have name Sasha' needs the definite article 'the' before 'name'.
× I don't know. I never have ever see Chinese kids and I haven't taught with Chinese kids so I don't know how sound they names.
✓ I don't know. I have never seen Chinese kids and I haven't taught Chinese kids, so I don't know how their names sound.
The present perfect tense 'have never seen' is correct instead of 'never have ever see'. 'Taught with' is incorrect; it should be 'taught'. Also, 'how sound they names' should be 'how their names sound' for correct word order and pronoun use.
× I don't know. I'm not from China, I'm from Ukraine, so I don't know anything about Chinese names, but I think someone of them popular.
✓ I don't know. I'm not from China, I'm from Ukraine, so I don't know anything about Chinese names, but I think some of them are popular.
'Someone of them' is incorrect; the correct quantifier is 'some of them'. Also, the verb 'are' is needed to complete the sentence.
