× My name special meaning is that one who praises and sing the name of the God and it was used by my parents as they wanted me to be a religious person.
✓ My name's special meaning is that it refers to one who praises and sings the name of God, and it was chosen by my parents because they wanted me to be a religious person.
The original sentence lacks the verb 'is' after 'My name' and has incorrect verb forms 'sing' instead of 'sings'. Also, 'the God' is incorrect; 'God' does not need 'the'. The sentence structure is confusing and needs rephrasing for clarity. Use 'My name's special meaning is that it refers to...' to make it grammatically correct and clear.
× Speaking honestly, in my culture and religion, the 1st letter of the name is selected by the religious priest and after that the meaningful word from a religious book is choose from it.
✓ Speaking honestly, in my culture and religion, the first letter of the name is selected by the religious priest, and after that, a meaningful word from a religious book is chosen.
The verb 'choose' is incorrectly used in present tense; it should be past participle 'chosen' to match the passive voice construction. Also, '1st' should be written as 'first' in formal writing. The sentence needs a comma before 'and' for correct punctuation.
× Definitely no. In my family, no other member has the same name as mine because my my family member had choose my name because it was unique among other members.
✓ Definitely not. In my family, no other member has the same name as mine because my family members chose my name as it was unique among other members.
'Had choose' is incorrect; the correct past tense form is 'chose'. Also, 'my my' is a repetition error. 'Definitely no' should be 'Definitely not' for correct negation. 'Family member' should be plural 'family members' to agree with context.
× Speaking honestly, I don't have much knowledge about the different name of Chinese child in the past or present, so I don't.
✓ Speaking honestly, I don't have much knowledge about the different names of Chinese children in the past or present, so I don't.
'Name' should be plural 'names' to match 'different'. 'Chinese child' should be plural 'Chinese children' to agree with 'different names'. The sentence ends abruptly with 'so I don't' which is acceptable as a short form but could be clearer if completed.
× In future I would like to know more name about the Chinese child and and people.
✓ In the future, I would like to know more names about Chinese children and people.
'In future' should be 'In the future' as the definite article is needed. 'More name' should be plural 'more names'. 'Chinese child' should be plural 'Chinese children'. The repeated 'and' is a typo and should be corrected.
× As I have mentioned earlier that I have no knowledge about the name of Chinese but I had heard a very famous name of the PM of the China which is King John which is the most popular among other Chinese in my country and.
✓ As I have mentioned earlier, I have no knowledge about Chinese names, but I have heard of a very famous name of the PM of China, which is King John, and it is the most popular among other Chinese in my country.
'Had heard' should be 'have heard' to match present perfect tense with 'have mentioned'. 'The name of Chinese' is incorrect; it should be 'Chinese names'. 'The PM of the China' should be 'the PM of China' without 'the'. The sentence ends abruptly and needs completion for clarity.
