"Xiaofeng" means something like "dawn [at the] summit." He was probably lucky enough to have an English teacher who knew that "Dawn" is not a common boys' name in the English-speaking world, but apparently had no problem with "Sky." Jang Jaeho is Korean - it seems 1.3 billion Chinese could only manage to cough up one world-class WC3 player.


Hahah! I had a student who went with the literal English translation of his name: 'Brightstar'! And he was taking that name to Australia! He was nice but mopey and his gay as fuck name made him tricky to cheer up.

"There there... Brightstar. Be strong..."

Or even worse...

"Brightstar... BRIGHTSTAR!! Do you know if anyone in your room is using J's mayonnaise?

What has been your gayest name, Jack? Do you realize you're learning Chinese mostly so you can have sex with Chinese women? Do not kid yourself. Where do/did you teach? Or are you Asian? You better explain yourself. We don't get many strangers around these parts.
