I wrote about how Asian names differ from the Anglo-Saxon names I’m more used to. I found Ireland had a lot of names which I’d never heard before. In our village of around 150 houses, you can tell by the names that we’re all...

The title is a line that appears in a very old Australian poem. It goes on about how smitten the author is with a girl called Doreen. To Westerners like myself, some Asian names seem very strange and it’s hard not to laugh at...

Judy Evans Mostly I think the V sign would be considered 'two fingers' here rather than just one. A lot of Asians seem to use a horizontal V with both hands either side of the eyes. I'm not sure what it means although it's 'nice' rather than 'nasty'.
