Many East Asians living or working abroad choose to adopt a "western name" to avoid having a name their friends and colleagues find difficult to pronounce. This week the Chinese TV station CCTV published a web article advising readers on how to choose an appropriate name - and unfortunately names like Dumbledore, Medusa, Lawyer, Fish and Candy were ruled out. Our colleagues in Â鶹Éç Chinese tell us how they chose a western name and share some of the more unusual ones they've come across.
