I have a Chinese chop, in traditional characters. It is possible that it contains my name in Chinese (Szu Sung-Eh), or it could be something else entirely ("licensed prostitute"). I can no longer write my Chinese name, but I think I would recognize it if hand written, and certainly the last symbol doesn't look like anything I recognize (that and my name is three parts, not four).

Below the cut are images of the stamp/print, and the chop itself. Click for bigger.

Chop (since it is a stamp, it is backwards of how it prints)

If you know what it says, please enlighten me.

Edit: A mirror image of the chop and further discussion can be found here.

I am under the impression this was given to me by my Nga Boo (Shanghai word for maternal grandmother) when I was a teenager, so I am hopeful it really does means something. :-P Plus [livejournal.com profile] framefolly has been trying to figure out my Chinese name recently from my poor memory of the "correct" (original Shanghai) way to pronounce it and its meaning, so I'm even more hopeful this chop and that puzzle will collide and solve each other.
