HK Names

Many people here have English names in addition to their Chinese ones, but what's great is how many names seem to have been inspired by old British civil servants, or are just taken from the Bible.

Here are some I pulled from the Sunday paper--

Enoch Yiu
Agnes Lam
Cameron Dueck
Minnie Chan
Ambrose Leung
Chester Yung
Josephine Ma
and my favorite: Fanny Fung

(And then there's my HK doctor-- Dr. Paco Lee. I never asked him where the "Paco" came from...)
