Asian names

[funkychinaman]

My primary concern was the recent trend of Asian celebrities, including actors, who insist on going with the Asian way instead of the Western way. As I cited before, Chow Yun Fat and Gong Li. Sure, they're listed as Yun Fat Chow and Li Gong on IMDb, but when's the last time anyone actually referred to them as such? Or Li Gong's favorite director, Yimou Zhang? Or going down to the arena to see Houston Rockets star center Ming Yao? (before his retirement, that is.)

For the record, Chow Yun Fat is listed as "Chow Yun Fat" on IMFDB, contrary to IMDB.
