Is it more common among native Chinese speakers or English-speaking Chinese, in your experience? In my own anecdotal experience here in Malaysia, it was the English-speaking community who picked the quirky English names, while the native Chinese speakers stuck to their Chinese names.

I worked with a Malaysian girl who went by the name Sun, and there was another girl in the same building who went by Ice.

Gotta admit, if my last name was Partee I'd be sorely tempted to do that with my kid.

Yeah, the first time I saw that scene, even as a mere youtube clip, made my jaw utterly drop in a way I had never experienced before.

Somebody once said that if you have a last name like Smith, the only way you're gonna be famous is if you have a unique first name.

I, uh, I don't know what they expected, but I don't think it was this.

I'm not entirely opposed to just naming your kid after things you think are cool, but why do the other siblings have regular baby book names

Local guy named Anfernee is wanted for assault.

Worse than that, I sent it to my brother Anthony who told me that it’s the name of a basketball player. So there are multiple people with that terrible name on Earth.
