The search for the most obscure Chinese name continues and I’ve been collecting them mentally as I go along for this little competition I am having with myself. They’re just cluttering up my brain, warping my mind with the 'male or female?' question, and are of no use to you in there... So without further ado it’s now time to share a few of the crackers I’ve gathered over the past few weeks:
Coal - The man who agrees with China’s energy policy.
Rocky - The man with an inflated ego who watched way too many bad movies from the 80s.
Calvin - The man who named himself after his [fake, bought down Nanjing Road market] pants.
Wolin - The man who just stuck random letters together to make a name.
Boggy - The man who wanted to be Irish, or likes toilets perhaps.
Smile - The man who aspires to work for Colgate.
Phoenix - The man who rose from the ashes.
Magical - The man who rates himself a little out of this world.
Black - The man who felt the world was a bit too colourful.
... But my all time favourite has to be... Fish. Why oh why?!
You’ve no doubt, therefore, guessed what my Chinese lesson of the day is: 鱼 yú – which means fish.
