Creative names for Chinese People

Remember back in the days when we mock the Japanese language that if Japanese car, motorcycle and home appliance brand names are put together, it sounds like you are speaking Japanese. That wasn’t my point but relevant enough to start the paragraph.

This is by far my most absurd topic that I had ever came up but everyone must face fact that there are people who are shamelessly "customized" their own name though most of them had no idea what it means & up to some point, frequently change their name as if buying fake branded clothes in Petaling Street. Airmani today Redbutt tomorrow & the day after Versucky. Sounds like a actor's name from cheap soft-core porn movie showing the close up of bloke's sweaty face in wide angle view. Kinky.........NOT!!!!

It all began during the British colonial times when the Brits had a hard time pronouncing Chinese name. So they game them some name to call upon to make life easier like Adam, Smith, Jeremy, Elizabeth, Nancy and whatever name they can find in the bible of Christian names. That's to be understood. As time gone by to the 21st century, names become a must have accessories, like women's tampons or men's Viagra pills to build up confidence in themselves. Offended? I don't give a flying f*** if you got your name from S&M products, you sick bastard.....Anyway, name has evolved to one point they have to alter their name to adapt with their Chinese name.

I wonder if there's a person name Swine Tan?
