In naming, Hong Kong (and China to a lesser extent) is a lot like the USA — anything goes, a land of naming freedom and self-expression.
Other governments impose restrictions. In Germany, parents have to choose a name that clearly indicates the child’s sex and is not a surname. France and Brazil forbid names that might expose a child to mockery, like Sylvester Stallone and Sasha Czack’s child Sage Moonblood or Frank Zappa’s daughter Moon Unit Zappa (originally Moon Unit Two Zappa).
A big downside of a ‘creative’ name is the baggage that it may come with. People ascribe all kinds of personality traits to you that you just don’t have. One way or another, you (or your child) nearly always end up having to overcome some kind of stereotyping. Except for Miss Kinky Chik, perhaps.
On the other hand, you’d also get the impression from many teens (Asians and Westerners alike) that a regular name like Jane or William just doesn’t cut enough ice with them anymore in this day and age. They want something offbeat, even over the top, so they don’t become just another face in the crowd.
You know what? Get an education. Get a dictionary. Better still — get a life. Preferably off-line.
