To put it differently: what Greg (and the rest of us) want to make sure is that your name appears the way you prefer. 

Having the Latin transliteration in whatever form you prefer is greatly appreciated, of course, since the knowledge of Chinese script is limited outside East Asia, but that's just about it.

If you want to add your name in proper Chinese script in addition that should be fine, too.
