After my mom left her old job, the guy that got brought in as her replacement was a man named Draven Darke.

It's good to see a former 90's superhero reintegrating into society. :unsmith:

So I'm not sure how much I'm bungling this concept, but from the time I spent in China it seems like young, educated, English-speaking people there get to choose their own "English name". Which makes sense given there's a lot of failed awkward attempts by native English speakers to pronounce their actual names.

Most people I ran into chose fairly normal names, maybe skewing a bit old-fashioned on the guys' end. But one guy in his 20's who worked at the same lab as I did was named Paladin. He said he was playing Diablo II and he decided it was a badass word and ought to be his name.
