In Hong Kong, the HongKongese people are given a Chinese name at birth but when they get into school they go by English names and their surname. But the names that they come up with sometimes are (to be nice) Unique. I recently came across a list someone put together of names that they saw when out and about, like on the name tags of the workers at McDonald's.
