??????????????????????????????????????
Ok, im really confused now.
So, in english i have 4 names.
my first name, 2 middle names and my surname.
Do they pull them out of a hat for you guys then??? Cos there must be 1000's of people with the same name combination.
aarrgghh its too late for me to comprehend.

in hong kong it was compulsory to have english name too so was easier for the documents/passports n shit or somethin when it was under british rule
il find the steve translation
its not like since am called Ian my chinese name wil be same other ians
but u can get chinese versions of english names
