    Everyone should be treated with respect, until the moment they do something mind-blowingly stupid like willfully cripple their child's future by guaranteeing that she will be ridiculed for her entire childhood.

    Totally agree, with two exceptions. One is that it is the parents who should be mocked not the poor kid and secondly only when the name is stupid in their own culture (there is a male TV presenter here called "Spanky" which no one apart from me seems to find at all amusing). ABCDE is stupid in any culture I would think.

    Zombie used to work in Delifrance in Tsim Sha Tsui. I must say that the name suited him.
    Well, a lot of people working in the F&B industry in Hong Kong are called Zombie, whether or not they're named Zombie...

    There's Eminem Ma who's a bank teller at HSBC. That's a pretty amazing name.

    Sometimes when they come up with some names like that -- and that is by all means the worst I've ever heard of -- you wonder if you should take them aside and have a word with them.

    Sometimes the names come from the similar sounds to their Chinese name. Or maybe it sounds like their Chinese nickname.... but syphilis -- nope.
