Japanese people for instance, 小森美樹, people call her  美樹...美樹.... feel so good, they dont use English name such as John, Peter etc because they're proud with their national identity.0 Z, Z- ^1 ^3 W+ d

HK Chinese with English name are strange inside many foreigners eyes who never been to HK, mostly base on the British colonial background, that local Chinese have to please British by not accepting their Chinese identity...and British promote English is the most important language in HK to persuade Chinese residents... anyway its a historical topic.
