不清楚为何模特儿给自己取了这么一个古怪的名字。或许她想：既然有人的名字是Cat，那Puppy应该没什么不妥。但Cat其实是Catherine的short form。
华人爱洋名。从喜欢夸耀『五千年优秀文化』，并且念念不忘『百年屈辱』的大陆人，到高度热爱母语，并且视英文为洪水猛兽的大马华人，取洋名都已成为一种潮流。但是，华人取洋名标新立异，洋人听了都会啼笑皆非。
香港艺人郑裕玲的洋名是Do Do，不知是否取自已绝种的dodo鸟？另一名艺人李赛凤的洋名是Moon，我倒是知道其典故。李赛凤十多岁时主演电视剧《大地恩情》，剧中角色的名字是阿满，过后她就索性把『满』直译为Moon。
女歌手梁静茹也有一个无喱头洋名，叫Fish。这里不知有没有男生也想取洋名？我建议叫Shark

ReplyDeleteSometimes these names just make me pukeeee, considering the amount of ppl who love giving themselves an English name. They think it'll elevate their status, but in fact, I think it's so cheap.
Haha...However, special name did make people remember them easily... in terms of strategy, they did it!
