"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet" from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet
Before we moved to Hong Kong, my friend Sheigla who lived in Hong Kong about 8 years ago, told me about some of the colorful English names Hong Kong Chinese people gave themselves. Her example was a student she encountered named Purple (Maybe she is a Prince fan). Here are the top three names I've encountered thus far.
3. A waitress wearing a name tag that read, Moon.
2. An interior designer named Cobra.
1. By far the best name I've encountered so far is Porky Chan. Patty and I came across Porky's business sign while walking on Hennessy Road last month.
QUESTION for you, kind reader . . . what would you name yourself? Your spouse?
Me? I'm Huja Bradshaw.

Ah, excellent conversation starter. My spouse was already named 'Howdy Lakes' by someone else. It kinda fits. I chose the card playing name of 'Trixie' back when dinosaurs roamed the earth and it still pleases my inner smart ass.
there is a singer/actress whose name is "Money"; not sure if she is still active.
