    Those would've been funny if I was 15 when I read them.

    lol.

    Why did I know it would be like this? Everyone proclaiming their man meat is some huge slab of lady killing tube steak. lol. yeesh.

    Mine's "Chan Ma Son"
    I was given it because it sounds phonetically sort of same to my english name.
    No kungfu connection to it.

    But some of the other guys I know had kungfu related chinese names.
    Kung Fu is good for you.

    My next Sifu was Hawaiin so he named be Kameah Wana Leaya
    My next Sifu was Chinese and he named me Gun Go Pow
    My current Sifu is White he named me Dum Ass. I still think that is not a Chinese name though.

    My Chinese name is my username. The meaning is posted underneath.

    Why is a "Chinese Name" necessary?

    One of my Sifus named me Hung Wai-Keung,(heroic, strength) but, whenever I screwed up, he would call me,"Fan-Tung!" (empty rice-pot-useless)
    the Sifu I am studying with now can't pronounce Rik, so he calls me "Ah-Lik" and when he writes it, he uses the hanzi for Lik-strength.

    oh yeah, and in my first school, I had a rep for being fast, so they called me,
    "Gwai-Sao," (Ghost Hands) which I kinda dug. Every once in awhile, I run into an old classmate, and he still calls me that.

    Cool!

    Jo-

    It's not necessary.
    It's one of those kungfu culture things though.

    Just curiosity on my part really.
    Kung Fu is good for you.
