This doesn't really seem like a Chinese name to be.
It is Shi2nan2 (two rising tones) which is basically the word for a plant called the "Taiwan phoebe", "ericoid" or the "Rhodedendron hymenanthes Makino var. pentamerum Makino".
I am not native Chinese but this name seems very odd.
Normally the first and second names have their own meanings and people aren't just called one word and such a rare one at this .

Its hard to find a translator that translates characters like that. If its a direct translation of your name in Chinese, then I guess that would be your first and last name, but other than that, you'd have to consult an actual dictionary.

I get "Chinese photinia" when I put it into babelfish.altavista.com translation site.
If you asked the web site to give you your "Chinese name" I suspect what you get is a mish-mash of characters. "Your name" typically becomes a collection of words that sounds phonetically close to your English name.
(Sort of like, to pick a name, "Charlie Jackson" might become the words "Cha-lee-ja-soon" which might even translate as nonsense, like "turn tea shoe rice"). Babelfish is doing the best it can...

huh? i'm going to guess that what you typed for some reason didn't come through. two little boxes have no meaning in the english language.
