Some of them are not even christian. Then why aren't they choose Japanese names, Brazilian names, or Jew names?
Who said english names are easy to pronounced? I bet most ah so and aunties don't even know how to properly pronounce name like 'Gillian' or 'Leonard'. later must got pelat2 chin chong punya. |

Mui Kwai. Seems to be fine across different cultures. Fruits......err..I don't think Chinese names have those too. So Chinese using English fruit names is rather bizarre. |
