Mi nombre es "Ian Francis Hill" en inglés.
En español es "Juan Francisco Colina" and I quite like that.
Or simply "Don Juan" that appeals as well. 
Yes, it should be the same, but of course if your name has a Spanish equivalent you could enjoy using the spanish name. For example my name in English is Michael, but I quite like being called Miguel or Miguelito (equivalent of Mike) when I meet Spanish speakers. There are lots of others, eg Juan is John, Maria is Mary I guess etc etc.
My name is Carmen,in Spanish mean "viña de Dios"="Vineyard of God",very mistic,is not?
I would be all for keeping my native name where ever I go as long as it can be pronounced by native speakers of that country and doesn´t have any undesirable meanings in that language. My name is Tina. Is the name Tina a name native to the Spanish language? A few weeks ago I looked it up and when the letter n has a tilde above it like this tiña, it means ringworm. For me that would be too close for comfort. If it is not a typical Spanish name, what would be close?
I'm not sure if "Tina" is the same in Spanish, but I know of at least one "Tina" that lives in Mexico near the border. It could be that it's migrated from the States, like a Mexican "Betsy" I also know.
But Tina sure sounds Spanish!
Being called Miguel Antonio rather than Michael Anthony makes me feel more connected to the Spanish community. I enjoy being addressed by my Spanish equivalent.

No tengo ninguna idea. Mi nombre es Stuart.
My name has the "th" in in. No one can pronounce it: Katherine
I get all kinds of pronunciations. I would consider going by my nickname Kat (though I prefer not to as it is unprofessional - though that doesn't seem to be a big deal in Mexico! Nicknames are all the rage) BUT in Argentina "cat" is slang for prostitute. 
And I don't like any of the other diminutives of Katherine in english and refuse to answer to them.
I entered a martial arts competition a while back. My teacher entered me so my name was written. When they put me in the system, they didn't even include the h! Who needs no stinkin' hache? 
So I won 1st place as Katerine.
My last name has a "th" in it as well so no matter what I do, my name is butchered!
My name is Beth, not Elizabeth, so I can't really use Isabel (my favorite Spanish name). I was given "Beth" as in the Hebrew "house" so I guess it would be Casa. I could go by Casino! ha ha. I'll have to look up other words for "house." Could be fun.
My full name is Kenneth and as far as I know there is no translation for it in spanish, my youngest son's name is Grahame and the spanish people here in Barcelona just can't pronounce it.
Jaime/Diego/Santiago=James/Jacob
It has always bothered me to hear my name Jaime pronounced the English way (Jay-Mee)
Mi nombre es Brian. Necesito un alias en español. 
My Spanish name is Blanca. I think White in English sounds rather strange.
My given name is Gary and someone a while ago told me the equivalent was Gregario. I'm not sure I buy it or even like it but then I never liked the name Gary either.
When I took my first Spanish class, my teacher told me my Spanish equivalent is joselito. I agree, it was always fun to be addressed by that name during class.
