it's quite common in some Asian countries for people to give themselves their own English names― real eyes realize real truffle fries (dyao), Friday, June 4, 2010 4:17 AM (5 hours ago)

I mean, I don't think Daniel is *that* much more ridiculous than *Eagle*...
"[The Hebrew] God has judged me"... okay...?

daniel is my government name, Eagle is not the government name of laurel's asian contact I don't think
― real eyes realize real truffle fries (dyao), Friday, 4 June 2010 16:43 (fourteen years ago) link
Daniel is a good name imo, and so is Eagle... but both are pretty ridiculous is all I'm saying.

yeah but what about 'grenade'?
― real eyes realize real truffle fries (dyao), Friday, 4 June 2010 16:48 (fourteen years ago) link
anyway if you read the thread carefully I never even commented specifically on' eagle'. I just mentioned 'hitler' and 'grenade' which I think are self-evidently bad names. (well okay grenade is a pretty kickass name)
― real eyes realize real truffle fries (dyao), Friday, 4 June 2010 16:49 (fourteen years ago) link
The point is they are non-name words in our language/culture. I also work with a lot of people who gave themselves real name-y names but uncommon ones, which I find extremely charming, but the words that are not names at all are truly noize.

i'm pretty much over reading threads carefully btw, it's mostly just skimming while i'm on the phone or the toilet tbqh.

it goes both ways though, like when western people give themselves asian names that come phonetically close to their western names but don't really mean anything in that language
I know a lot of people here for example whose english names are just the closest name phonetically to their chinese names. like there are a ton of wincy's and winky's because wing sze seems to be a pretty common Chinese name.

also interesting how a lot of korean-americans are named eunice or eugene or euclid or whatever since I think yoo is a pretty common phoneme in korean? names are interesting, what can I say.

The thing I like about names using Chinese characters (China, Japan, ?) is that there is a poetry in the characters that adds depth far beyond the sound of the name. Seems more two dimensional then non-Chinese language names.

I think every Eugenie I've known (can think of 4 off the top of my head) has been from Hong Kong. Does it sound close to something in Cantonese? Just wondering.
(quick spy: first few pages of Google results for Eugenies on Facebook are 80-90% French, a couple of Koreans, and the rest Chinese, though I've no idea what part of China)
