    Unfortunate name...

    I bet this person wishes their parents had a better grasp of Engrish!

        In my prof career, I have had dealings with Krapp and Kunz but I've never come across a controversial Chinese name, but I remember someone telling me that there was a Chinese Restaurant in the US (don't remember where) called Yu Fuk.
