I am mixed race with East Asian descent. The name is so true, they don’t change their name but so many of them chose to take up their white husband surname which is ridiculous and felt very try hard. Like you said, Mei-Ling Williamson and some of them also try to retain their surname like Jenny Mei Ling Gao- Williamson.I think this is a personal thing for me - I'm of Asian descent and have met many, many white guys with disgusting attitudes to East and South East Asian women. I've known quite a few well to do men who went for Asian or Eastern European trophy wives, and now all those women have names like "Mei-Ling Williamson", "Jelena McGillicuddy", "Piyamat Downey" and so on (not their real names, obviously, these are just examples.) I think it sounds AWFUL. Especially bad if she's from a culture where women keep their own names after marriage.
The reverse is also true. I have a close friend who lives in Japan and knows many expat women with no Japanese ancestry and names like "Judith Shiraishi", "Vicki Takemoto", "Amanda Kiyama" and so on which sound equally awful. It'd be different if the person were mixed race and that name took their multiple ethnicities into account, but as married names, they make me shudder
these sound like nicknames you would give to a baby when you are talking to them in baby talk, OT but ralphie just makes me think about ralph wiggum on the simpsonsYes! I know of someone who has 3 kids called Teddy, Ralphie and Ronnie
Yeah I agree, I can't imagine a grown adult with these names! Haha yes me too!these sound like nicknames you would give to a baby when you are talking to them in baby talk, OT but ralphie just makes me think about ralph wiggum on the simpsons
exactly, imagine introducing yourself at a work interview being called RalphieYeah I agree, I can't imagine a grown adult with these names! Haha yes me too!
I can just imagine that EVERYONE will ask him (as an adult) "but is your real name ralph?"I don't even know where Ralphie came from, it's not as if it's short for Ralph. People I know use 'ralph' for being sick so I always associate it with that.
there is a whole generation of people (myself included) born in the 80s with the middle name louise, I swear half the girl in my school, of my age, had the same!I don’t know why but I’ve never liked Louise or Emily! I know loads who have Louise as a middle name and my cousin who is lovely is Emily Louise
Sorry to anyone with those names haha, my name has come up a few times here, usually as the ones the posters know are witches or bullies but can confirm I am neither
Yes!! I’m early 90s but totally agree most girls in my year had Louise as a middle name!there is a whole generation of people (myself included) born in the 80s with the middle name louise, I swear half the girl in my school, of my age, had the same!
