Rhinoceros! Eat your veggies!

Many Chinese in Shanghai adopt English-ish names. There are many Jack Wangs, Tony Lius, and Candice Wus around. Sometimes you run into some more unusual names. Names like Rhinoceros Lu, Echo Wang, and Seven Hu. I always wonder how they got these unusual names. Often, they were given these names by their (occasionally cruel) Western English teachers. Sometimes they pick them out of Western literature or songs.

I like to mine for new and unique names and try to think of how they might have come by their creative monikers. Here's some good ones on this website from the medical clinic near my home.
