Hong Kong people tend to think it's trendy to have a funky English name. The problem is, I don't think they know exactly how to do it right. I swear a lot of them just flip through an English dictionary and pick random English words that they think look cool. Some I have seen (no joke) are:
Kingdom
Alien
Hymen
Apple
Dinosaur
Benz
And then there are ones that I think they just made up thinking they sound nice.
Sicily
Florinda
Winifer
There are also a couple first and last names that are just funky. I saw a guy at Uni named Nice Joy. And I work with a guy named Albert Albert.
