022“Looks Like It, Sounds Like It … For God Sake!”
posted by cibol on February 5th, 2008
I had a chat with a friend last night. No, nothing personal. She’s not my girlfriend nor “personal friend”. She’s just a friend. Enough of that bull.
We were talking about how ridiculous people can be, especially the HK people when it comes to choosing an English name. We had some laughs …
We call it – “The Name Sake”
Why? Just because it sounds English so it’s an English name. Yer rite!
Oh, for God sake! English names for Hong Kong Chinese range from traditional to inventive to downright bizarre. Maybe I’m not the very first person to blog about this nor that I’m the first to notice this but I bet we all agree that for them – As long as it sounds nice and English, it fits. Somehow I think that’s rather absurd and downward stupid.
The name Bobo just strucked me last night. Why? Because everyone have been talking about how horny she was when she … I better not go into details. Bobo, what does that reminds you? Bodo, Bozo, Bobo the Bozo, yes you are. Bobo is a big joke .. Above all for heaven’s sake and God, it hurts to be you. I’ve been reminded by this friend of mine that this femes blogger actually said that in his little snippets. No, I’m not going to put his link here because some people might think that I’m a hit whore. Just to tell you that I’m not, so be it. Heck I care, maybe we just think alike – coincidently that is and so because I said I will blog about this thus, I did just that.
I hope none of you here fall to that category, if you are .. man I just don’t know what to say. I pity you. You know how sad it is to be named Mango? It’s like living under the curse of a living nightmare and what more for you to be given the name Dick, like Dick Lam. Maybe it’ll sound hornier if you put “Y” to it and it becomes Dicky. Here Dicky, Dicky! And Rocky as in the Rocky – Stallone movie, is often reserved for pets. Like a dog, a bulldog named Rocky! If your surname is Chan, don’t ever use Isabella or Bella as your first name. For God sake even the English don’t named themselves Mango or fruit or apple - what more to say ciku, langsat or rambutan? Don’t you think that trying very hard to be different sometimes just make you look stupid? Or in this case, sounds stupid.
I came across names like Fruit Chan, Mango Chan, Cassanova Wong .. For fuck’s sake why can’t they come out with a more proper name? I mean even if it sounds English doesn’t mean that it fits as an English name. Haih, some more got Yoyo! You know what? I do realize that people find it hard to pronounce my name as in my real name but it is an English name. I’m not saying that my parents are cool or what but at least they give it a deep thought before giving me the name and I do believe our parents are like that too but these people, just don’t get it. What a joke!
I tell you what, Clitoris sounds like a very nice and a sweet name and it’s English, why not?

Eventhough Orange is a bit funny but it’s not absurd you know. I mean at least ok la but still Orange is not a normal name. 20% absurdity!

Nice blog u have here.
Hi there! Thanks for dropping by. By the way, if not because of the meaning, Vagina would make a fine name, no?
