exotic names III
I got bored today & browsed the corporate directory (again) to look for more funny ‘Christian’ names of our China counterparts. Sure enough, I noticed some new exotic names… Here’s what I managed to record down for our twisted gratification (I replaced all the surnames with ‘Zhao’ to preserve the anonymity of the respective individuals)
Jeans Zhao –> She has a sister named Sarong.
Koma Zhao –> I bet that isn’t a very auspicious name to greet during Chinese New Year…
Jercky Zhao –> People would just refer this person as “Jerk” in short…
Kiwi Zhao –> Kiwi the bird or the fruit? How would you like to have a spouse with a name like this?
Sinbad Zhao –> That’s just great. We have a Persian myth character working here with us…
Volcano Zhao –> And you just need to stroke it vigorously to erupt the white lava…
Sailing Zhao –> What the fuck… these people are now naming themselves after their hobby.
Cincia Zhao –> I somehow think this name is misspelled from the word Cincai.
Sugar Zhao –> Why not Monosodium Glutamate? Sounded more complicated that way…
Hacker Zhao –> He’d never be promoted as an IT manager in his life.
Arrow Zhao –> I have no comment about this name. It’s downright absurd.
Spirit Zhao –> And he thinks he’s invisible
Ripple Zhao –> Ripple on the placid water surface? An indirect insinuation that he’s a trouble maker?
Fude Zhao –> Sounds like some adjective to describe a bunch of retarded Chinese ed college girls.
Loudy Zhao –> Not welcomed in libraries and hospitals.
Fabrice Zhao –> A type of laundry detergent?
Isable Zhao –> Has a cousin called “Unable”
more weird/exotic Christian names:
Urbane, Sampoll, Schon, Choice, Eros, Gipsy, Cissy, Nieo, Stacks, Ultrasb, Ombelle, Grissom, Terdy, Binlet, Diamond, Fishzl (how do you even pronounce this???), Knox, Loading, Power
These people, they really have no clue… *shakes head in disbelief*
i remembered one of my colleagues (i’m working part time) telling me about a girl from China who started work in my colleague’s previous company.
her name is VAGINA. the boss thought she may have heard it wrong coz of the heavy Chinese accent. so she asked “VIRGINIA?”
“No, VA-GI-NA. spelled as v-a-g-i-n-a…”
the boss nearly pengsan! hahaha! and suggested that everybody called her gina, but the girl insisted that she be called VAGINA, and she’s damn proud of it..
i was totally speechless after hearing it from my colleague coz i was laughing till i had tears in my eyes and had a pain in my tummy.
okay that vagina one is officially the worst, right after volcano.
No shit.. those are sad, man.. I’ve encountered an Anfernee Zhang here. What the hell man? What’s next? Shaquille Li? Kareem Feng? Freaky.
I wonder if they were taking drugs when they decided on the names… far out!
i used 2 get upset when my frens kacau me…hey ur mum must be a big fan of tyra banks…shessh…
guess d x generation prefers to be different and orginal??? r u serious?? they work in ur co?? pity u mike…
damn funny..sometimes also can’t understand why can pop up such weirdo names…
my colleague sent me a joke…that joke about ANNIE WAN >>anyone?
hahahaa
That day i met up a new frenz, she told me Daphene, i heard dophene..damn…something wrong with my ear..hahaha..
i have come across “Harvard Zhao”, “Cambridge Zhao”, “Electric Zhao” and “Lulu Zhao”…. and they are hongkies!
Haha. That’s amazing.
The weirdest name I got here in shanghai are Marshal, Wanker, Willy, NiNi…
I am wondering who the hell gave them these names. Especially the lady that address herself as NiNi…I can’t help but to think of Neh Neh. I hope I don’t yell out Neh Neh when I see her next time. Geez…
eriza - And her full name would be Vagina Zhao Chee Bye.
laynie - Volcano is stupid alright. I wondered if there’s anyone named Earthquake
coppersnare - Shaquille is kinda nice. Just hope they don’t name themselves after the ball…like Basketball Zhao. Or maybe, WaterPolo Zhao…
vincent - They don’t need drugs. They’re born like that. Ahaks!
tyra - Tyra is actually a unique name. Not very common in asia but, unique. *wink*
jc - There’s another name that dumbfucks me a lot - Charlene. That’s “grope tits” in Cantonese. HAHHHHHH!
buaya - Oooh they’re naming themselves after universities! How about Utar Zhao then? Damn silly
souplad - What I’m afraid that you might translate it straight to English and call her TITS instead! That’ll be tragic man
I use to see some boys name themselves as Dick. Thought not exotic, but it gives me some wierd things to think about.
Ahahahaha!! ROFL….i was in tears when i see …Vagina Zhao Chee Bye…you make my day, bro….
oh..oh..how about this one.. P*nis Zhao Lan ciao…eh how come can post vagina but cannot post pen*s
haha! it’s entertaining readin’ those funny so-called christian names in this entry. i’ve oso encountered names such as lulu, ruru, nini, mimi..
and those i found most irritatin’ of all is those trend/tech-related names such as dotcom, millenium and y2k. y would they wanna named themselves after these? dont they think it’ll sounds outdated in 10 or 20 years later? wat would their children think?
ROFLMAO! *wipes tears* Isable, i think someone must have had a typo error (of Isabel) somewhere when she adopted that name…that’s IF it’s a she!
Let see…the students’ names here : Titty, Mr Bean, Monday, Tuesday…Sunday, Bastry , Vienna, Sydney …
and there are students that change their name every week. *sigh*
chris, that is a precautionary measure taken by mike to keep himself safe from homosexuality.
Eh..how come my comment is gone? hoho.
I think the Fishzl is pronounced as Fizzle…maybe.
Anyway, I was just going to say that I’ve met a girl with the name Alkali Chan and a man named Money Man…sheeesh, shameless. They are from HK.
And we used to joke, “Where’s the Acid to neutralise you?”
all the names are so funny!!!!I have taiwanese frens with names like Winter, Summer, Maiden and Lovely.
One of them aint maiden anymore and the other aint lovely-looking……….
Isable isn’t that exotic/ weird; its probably a misspelling of the Spanish name ‘Isabel’.
failer - Some ‘Dick’, some ‘Dicky’. Both are as equally obscene…
chris - There indeed was. The name’s ‘Dick’. It’s the significant half for ‘Vagina’.
(the “P” word was blacklisted due to spams)
wy - No sweat for them, as they rarely stick to a single name.
jess / elb - I know the name “Isabel”. But that’s what made it so funny, right? To misspell a nice name into something absurd.
Azlin - Hey Azlin! It’s been a while. Hope life’s good living with those people with funny names there.
ibuprofen - My precautionary measure to keep myself safe is a crowbar. A fag touches me, he’s gonna get black out. Imagine how.
cemel - I’ve seen someone calling themselves “Tacks”. I was wondering, why not “Thumbtacks”? It’s much better than “Prick”…
FF8 - That’s usually the case. The weak wanted to balance out their characteristics by adopting an exaggerated name…
Hi all, I’m a Malaysian living in San Francisco. I knew a Hongkie here who is bald but with full grown facial hairs & mustache. I flipped the first time when he introduced himself to me as Everlyn.
eriza，you really cracked me up with the story about Vagina. Man, Mike, you did it with the hokkien name to that.. Muahahaha! I can’t stop laughing!
I met a woman called Babycia just the other day. It took some effort not to laugh in her face.
Actually Sydney is quite a nice female name. Neh, the ambassador for that beauty centre, Fish Leong…why would they want to name themselves Fish? Damn! Anyone out there wants to be Prawn?
There’s a teacher here with the name Yellow Phish. How do you keep a straight face when you have to call her name?
Mike : I’m doing good here. I may just stay here beyond a year..and more..and more. I kinda like it here. Wierd eh, even if I dont freaking understand what they’re talking about most of the time.
Another wierd thing, there are a lot of ads on tv abt breast enlargement. Luckily baby doesnt like watching tv so I dont have to do any censoring. TV is switch off most of the time anyways.
this was funny!
btw, Fabrice is a perfectly common Frenchman’s name.
(i know, i know…so detergent-y. AND female-sounding as well…)
An obsession with Western names gone haywire…LOL! Although some Chinese in M’sia do self-assign Western or English names to themselves, too, it’s usually limited to names like Candy, Mandy, and the ever-popular Simon!
The ones that I have read on this blog, today, just blew me away, man! Unbelievable!
Hahaha…hoi Mike! I doubt those are “Christian” names!
too many people…and those common english names are too common…
and name like simon, aaron, joaane, there might be thousands of them…
hehehehhe…tht is why they kind of invented names for themselves…
i came across HAPPY zhou, not very funny..but exotic and weird as well
penangmali - I’ve once dealt with an ‘Alex’, turn out to be a porcine chick…
m@ri - These people usually derive their English name literally from their Chinese name. So, if it’s ‘Vagina’… sure the Chinese name must be ‘Chee Bye’. Woo hoo I said it again!
vincent - Trying to be cute i presume.
primrose - Or ‘Crab’… or even ‘Lala’…
Azlin - ‘Yellow Phish’? Hahhh! Now that sounded like those epithet adopted by the Red Indians… eg. ‘Smiling Eagle’, ‘The Purple Rat of Ravine’, ‘The Serpent with a Crooked Dick’…
sans - Fabrice is not very common here I guess, that’s why it sounded kooky to me… But well, it’s still better than naming themselves after genitalias….
insomniac - I’ve put quotes on the word ‘Christian’… to denote that it’s special and may/may not predicate the actual meaning…
zbjernak - Well, a name’s just a handle to address you properly. The uniqueness of an individual, comes from their character. Character goes a loooooong way… if you get my drift.
Are you working for friendster ah? that’s where you will find all these weird names.
Dude, this name thing really blows me away! WTF!, what happen to names like Ah Tu, Ah Kau, Ah Tiu or Ah Beng! Now they call themselves:
- Vagina Tu
- Dick Kau
- Fanny Tiu
- Wanker Beng
hahaha! her surname MAY be zhao! u never know!!!
Fishzl be up your snizzle fo sho yo!
ano - I work for Playboy. They have plenty of weird names there alright, Lola, Pornstar, etc…
journey - Ha ha ha.. yeah that’ll be so funny. Burp.
erizabesu - Or ‘Lau’… ‘Lau Chee Bye’(old cunt)
Fireangel - Eh apa lu cakap nih?
well…sometimes you don’t have a choice in which name you were given…
FA on eternal high man.
(today i found out my high school friend has a new christian name: lucky chan)
maybe it’s chinese new year …
I’ve came across some people with equally “exotic” names.
Anus: Hi, I’m Anus.
Me: What???
Anus: Anus. You know “E-N-E-S”.
Me: Errrrrrrrrrrrrr…
Whatever, it’s pronounced that way. And he’s Malaysian.
Oh Kath, seriously, these people don’t have any sense? Enes my A** la… Muahahahah…
of all the names listed… i think Eros is acceptable… it’s suppose to be some sorta goddess of love or something like that… as for the rest… *bang head on the wall*
