On Asian Names and People #2

Several years ago while I was in HK, I wrote a blog post about Asian Names and People and how they are usually ridiculous looking with little rhyme or reason to how they choose their names.

So, I was just browsing around and somehow wound up back on Friendster (where the Asians live)...and ended up prowling around for a new batch of sillies.

Though these may never live up to the hilarity of the original bunch, here's what I found:

Alas.

"We tried to get her to choose a different name...like 'Alice'...but alas..."



Alberg.

Albert...Alberg...same difference.



Constant.

Uhhh... were you trying for Constance?



Meow.

Stupid face. Stupid name. Cat-like licking expression. Seems about right...



Queenie.

"Hi! I'm QUEENIE! Beakbird knows all your secrets."



CmHoLmOeE

"Pleases to meet you! My neme is CMHoLmOeE!!!! Haha! Yesss is a mouthful!"



Choihead.

"Choi" means vegetables. And "Head" means...well...head.

So "Choihead" means Vegetables Head. Which, of course, makes perfect sense...



Money.

She's a gold-digger. And not at all subtle about it.



DoLpHiN LoVeR

Ummm....try again.



Invisibelle.

"oh the name that does ring of beauty...I will murder you in your sleep."



Leopiccolo.

"Smile honey! You are in Piza!"

"Yes...but I am named Leopiccolo."

"Yes son. After the great Leopiccolo Da Vinci!"

"God I am so hungry."



Melee.

It's nice sounding, sure...but I will bet you twenty-six American dollars that she has no idea that her name is pretty much the EXACT OPPOSITE of something cute and fluffy...



Secret.

"Hi! What is your name?"

(quiet Asian whisper) "Isss Seeeecret..."



Mosquito! (on left)

Yes!!!! Can you believe I found another person named Mosquito (see On Asian Names and People #1) ?!?!



Fervor.

He wanted an English name that conveyed great warmth and intensity of emotion. Literally.



Ka-Ching

"OOOOH. You should meet my friend Money! Hahaha! KA-CHING!!!! ...Oh wait, no, you are a child molester..."



Flowerelle

"Name so pretty... Flower so pretty... Face so GAHHHHHH!H!H!!H!H!H I'M BLIND!!!!!"



Creapy.

Nail on the head.



Zing.

"It is my birthday! So I will hold a sign to the camera! Wishing a birthday to you...even though the birthday is.....uhhhh mine....uhhh...my face is stupid...ZING!!!!!"



Damn...I still think Asian Names and People #1 was better...
