I used to trade regularly with two people in Ningbo, China. They had adopted western names for business purposes but hadn't chose wisely.
I swear to you that these are the real names they used.
She was known as Willa Wang (seriously fit bird too) and he was Benny Kok (never met him personally).
I always had to stifle a laugh when he used to call me and start with "Harrow, Benny Kok"
:lol:

I noticed that about two years ago, the people who cold call from India offering mobile phones, changed their real names to English ones to give them more of a chance of a sale.

But they chose ridiculous one like Crispin and Casper!
