    Default Do you know anyone with a name similar to a wuxia character's?

    My late grandfather's (mother's father) name was "Chow Bak Him"; he was one character removed from having the exact same name as the famous "Old Mischief" (Chow Bak Tung) from LEGEND/RETURN OF THE CONDOR HEROES. Has anyone else known someone with either a similar or identical name as a wuxia character?

    I know of someone by the Vietnamese name, Hoàng Dung (Wong Yung) except, that's her full first name. In Vietnamese, it is not rare (though not too common either) for girls to have Hoàng as part of their first name. It means royalty. In fact, my middle name is Hoàng. Hoàng is also a common name for males. And Dung (Yung) is a quite common first name for females.

    I know a girl called Kang Jing, "Kang" for YK, "Jing" for GJ. One character off GJ. I heard that her mum was a JY fan.

    My friend is direct decendent of 'Guo Qing' his surname is 'Guo'.

    There're also a lot of ppl with 'Oey' in Indonesia, but not sure whether it's the same as 'Huang' in mandarin.

    Wang Rong is not Huang Rong
    Wang of Wang Rong is Wang which is Ong in Hokkian.
    Huang of Huang Rong is Oey in Hokkian
    off course the pronounciation between Huang Rong and Wang Rong also different.
