It's really quite hard to pin down which names have gotten mainstream and which are still novel names isn't it? Interesting and thought-provoking article, by the way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7206152742331306447.post-2718084873465376212013-08-26T20:09:27.210+08:002013-08-26T20:09:27.210+08:00Thank you Ines.

I understand your point and appreciate you telling me a bit about the choice of your name.<br /><br />As you can appreciate, there are a myriad of reasons why people adopt novel names. In Hong Kong, there appears to be more than its fair share of people who have slightly unusual names. This is the reason why this blog started.<br /><br />This blog wishes to generate more awareness and discussion as to what these reasons may be. Your feedback is exactly what is needed. It would be wonderful if other people who are featured on this site could comment on the true origins of their novel names.Novel Nameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02926542938056252580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7206152742331306447.post-6682125494732588052013-08-24T11:01:51.359+08:002013-08-24T11:01:51.359+08:00So you think HKers adopt "creative" name...So you think HKers adopt "creative" names because their grasp of English isn't as good and they're more resistant to "conformity". Before you put somebody's name up there, consider that we are an international city and there are many people from mixed cultural backgrounds. In my instance, I was given this name at birth and everybody on my father's side have been given French names for five generations because they are French-Chinese. I hope you don't come to the conclusion that everybody with a slightly unusual name is somebody who adopted it in order to stand out.
