Names in Hong Kong (edit!)
I am not sure if it is true, but I have heard that in many cases Hong Kongers will choose their own 'English' name. This results in some hilarity. I think the problem stems from the fact that they're perhaps letting kids choose their own name when they're too young. Evidenced by the plethora of "Kittys" and "Apples" you see.
Many are old-fashioned "Herbert" "Fanny", some are nearly an actual English name "Jerson" or "Kennis". But others are simply too weird to even contemplate. They are usually just nouns. I have come accross, so far in HK.
