Well firstly I can tell you that the Chinese system is most similar to that that English speakers use: a child will take its fathers surname, and the parents come up with a given name together. So unlike you the child will have two names, a given name and it's father's surname. That's different to South America right?
This is that child's name for life. Women don't take their husband's surname. I don't think this is a sign of the emancipation of Chinese women, as it is in the Anglophone world it's just how it's always been!
Given names are usually one or two Hanzi, and surnames are usually one or two Hanzi characters. Don't forget that names are written without spaces, with family name first.
Whenever foreigners take Chinese names it's a little tricky.
We can give you a Chinese pronounciatipn of your name. This will be just like saying your name with a Chinese accent: Xin-di Luo-de-li-jie-si.
We can give you a shorter version of the above: Luo Xin-di or just Luo Xin.
Because both of these options reflect the SOUND of your name Characters are chosen arbitrarily.
We can just give you a new name thy might reflect re meaning of your name or your personality.

That said, some people decide ultimately to go with Chinese names that don't have anything to do with their real names, since for some names (like 'Vahid,' or 'Brendan' for that matter) a graceful transliteration isn't very easy.
