In Hong Kong the Chinese choose English first names to go by and when they get tired of it they just change it. Of course, their Chinese names are legally recognized but, I guess due to the history of colonizing by the English, they pick English names and go by those in everday life. I've met a woman named Tweety, how do you keep a straight face when you're introduced to Tweety? I almost lost it when I was introduced to a Chinese woman named Boris! Anyway, just thought I'd throw that in for the heck of it.
