Well I actually mean Asian's English names but you understand! ;)
I used to hate how my mom spelled my name as Poleen because all the other kids made fun of it and how it's not spelled as Pauline, the "normal" way. Well through the years of junior and high school, I have eventually come to like the uniqueness of the way my name is spelt. And lately I've noticed a lot of Asian celebrities' English names that though are QUITE LUL-worthy, but in their ways are very much unique.
Example 1: G-DragonWhen I first hear GD's name I was like. wuttt? sounds like a
mafia gang name. But when I learnt more about him, I thought it was actually quite brilliant that he made G-Dragon his name because his Korean name is Ji Yong. Yong would be dragon in Korean and G sounds like "Ji", therefore G-Dragon.
Example 2: Fish LeongI love her songs and when I heard that her English name was Fish, I was like. pfffft what? I don't think it's as brilliant as the GD example, but I think it's because her name is "Leong Jing Ru" and uh because she's Cantonese, it's "Leung Jing Yu" And I suppose the "Yu" sounds like fish in Cantonese therefore the Fish of her name. I like her tonnes and I do love fish!! ^^;
Example 3: KellyJackie, JaniceMan, AngelababyI put these three people together because...... yeah. KellyJackie's name is that because her name is Jackie and she loved Kelly so much that when she debuted, she added Kelly to her name.. D: IDK the deal with JaniceMan and Angelababy, but srsly. WUT?
Example 4: Kingone WangI love on him because I think he isn't bad looking and that his acting is hella good! But when I found out his English name I was also LOLWUT? Because Kingone? But you know I think it's kinda unique.... He's Kingone! No one else will have his name and when I say oh blah blah blah Kingone, they'll know who I'm talking about.
Example 5: Tender HuangI only found out about him like last week while I was watching his recent lame-ass TW drama with Rachel, in which I ADORE BECAUSE I LOVE ROMANCE DRAMAS/CHICK FLICKS. Because I'm lame and they make me
squee and jump in puddles of warm bubbles! So while watching, I totally think he is amazing since hello? Main character guy that I actually agree on that Girl should fall in love with (it's usually I want her to be with supporting guy because he's usually sweeter). So I start to i-stalk him and learn that his English name is called Tender Huang. I LOLed with Brainy when I found out, because RLY? TENDER? But I think
I love him more JUST because he is called Tender!!! XD It's a cute name ♥ Well his acting is pretty great too. But maybe he's just outshining Rachel because uhhh it's not her specialty.
Example 6: Golf (Golf-Mike) -updated October 16.2009 I lol @ you Goooooolfie because.... I didn't expect anyone to be named after a sport in which people whack tiny balls into holes far away with a stick.......... I love you too. XD But I still think that Tender's name beats all. I think I will unlock this entry so I can update it whenever I come across odd/unique Asian's English names :D
