I think HK people are more imaginative, their name quite funny, I have friends called Sinbeo, Atom and Bosco

I know a HK hairdresser who calls herself Hymen.
Think her chinese name may be Hei Mun.
She is quite the chiobu.

if im not wrong, gt 1 sinkie celeb couple named her son with 2 surnames.
i tink they dunno beckham is the surname of an ang mo.

 

[Ramseth (Inf)]

Why you all worry about other people's names? I have same non-Chinese name in my official name for reasons. I thinks so do others. It's my name, my reason, and others' names, others' reasons. I can't improve your life by changing and restricting it back to pure Chinese. There's no even such thing anymore. Names must be Romanized. Writing Mao Zedong or Deng Xiapong is not Chinese and not the same as writing 毛泽东 or 邓小平。

alamak. no one say it is refering to you (i), but you (i) chose to self-pawned:(

E.g. Lisa and Betty are both short forms for Elizabeth, Tony for Anthony, Chuck for Charles, Tom for Thomas.
