× Well, I don't know that my name has any special meaning or not, but it carries, uh, my mother's, uh, uh, no love in it because she's the one that gave me that name and uh, yes, I don't know if it carries specific meaning or not.
✓ Well, I don't know whether my name has any special meaning or not, but it carries, uh, my mother's love in it because she's the one who gave me that name, and uh, yes, I don't know if it carries specific meaning or not.
The phrase 'I don't know that' is incorrect; it should be 'I don't know whether' to introduce a yes/no clause. Also, 'no love' is incorrect here; it should be 'love' without 'no' to express affection. 'She's the one that gave me' should be 'she's the one who gave me' because 'who' refers to people. These corrections improve clarity and grammatical correctness.
× Well, I have not thought about it, umm, how would I choose a name for the next generation? Maybe the names that I used, uh, I don't want to be that unique because unique and long because it will be very difficult for someone to, uh, pronounce the name.
✓ Well, I have not thought about it, umm, how I would choose a name for the next generation. Maybe names that I use, uh, I don't want it to be too unique or long because it will be very difficult for someone to, uh, pronounce the name.
The question form 'how would I choose' is incorrect in this statement; it should be 'how I would choose' to fit the statement context. 'Maybe the names that I used' should be 'Maybe names that I use' to maintain present/future relevance. Also, 'I don't want to be that unique' is incorrect; it should be 'I don't want it to be too unique' to refer to the name, not the speaker.
× So I want to keep it very simple, nice and uh, I think specific meaning.
✓ So I want to keep it very simple, nice, and with a specific meaning.
The phrase 'I think specific meaning' is incomplete and incorrect. It should be 'with a specific meaning' to properly express the idea. Also, adding commas improves clarity.
× Uh, no, nobody has. Nobody in my family has the same name as me.
✓ Uh, no, nobody does. Nobody in my family has the same name as me.
The phrase 'nobody has' is incomplete; it should be 'nobody does' to correctly respond to the question. The second sentence is correct.
× Umm, everybody in my family has a unique name and umm, unique meaning I guess.
✓ Umm, everybody in my family has a unique name and, umm, a unique meaning, I guess.
The phrase 'unique meaning' needs an article 'a' before it because 'meaning' is a countable noun here. Adding commas improves readability.
× Well, I don't know. I'm not from China, I'm from Nepal's and uh, having common name in Nepal is very umm, very common here.
✓ Well, I don't know. I'm not from China; I'm from Nepal, and uh, having a common name in Nepal is very, umm, common here.
'Nepal's' is incorrect; it should be 'Nepal' as a country name. 'Having common name' needs an article 'a' before 'common name' because it is singular and countable. Also, semicolon and commas improve sentence structure.
× So yeah, I don't know about China, but in Nepal, umm, there's no any differences.
✓ So yeah, I don't know about China, but in Nepal, umm, there are no differences.
'There's no any differences' is incorrect because 'differences' is plural, so 'there are' should be used instead of 'there is'. Also, 'no any' is redundant; use 'no' or 'any' but not both together.
× Umm, I don't know about China, but uh yeah, in Nepal there are a lot of popular names that are used again and again, like my name Anish, which is very much umm, popular in my country.
✓ Umm, I don't know about China, but uh yeah, in Nepal there are a lot of popular names that are used again and again, like my name Anish, which is very, umm, popular in my country.
The phrase 'very much umm, popular' is awkward; 'very popular' is correct. Adding a comma after 'very' improves clarity.
× And other guy next umm, other guy always have that name.
✓ And the other guy next to me, umm, always has that name.
'Other guy next' is incomplete and unclear; it should be 'the other guy next to me' for clarity. Also, 'other guy always have' is incorrect subject-verb agreement; it should be 'other guy always has'.
