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.

One coworker said "I will have to puzzle that out. It is in an old font that they use for chops. I don't have time right now, I am working on $REALJOB I will have to trace the stamp and reverse it, the image isn't too clear."

I traced and mirrored the chop for him, lets see what he says.

Yeah, I haven't gotten the chance yet to dig out my image manipulation software and just mirror image the original chop itself. That might be more readable than a mirror image of a tracing.
