Why are Asian parents so patently terrible at naming their kids?
[...]
It's just laughable. So terrible and outdated. And a lot of times it really pisses me off. The following is a list of just awful Asian names that people I know have had the displeasure of being named (most ridiculous in bold):

Grace
<b>Roman</b>
Titus
Ellen
<b>Eunice</b>
<b>Hibisca</b>
Simona
Joyce
Lucy
Wilson
Carlin
Geraldine
Clara
Lisa
Albert
Patricia
Helen
Carol
Cynthia
Cindy
Susan
Jeanette
Janet
<b>Linda</b>
Jane
Tina
Diana
Diane
Florence
Spencer
Connie
Lois
Jeannie
Alice
<b>Nancy</b>
Henrietta
Henry
Faye
Faith

What gives?

[Later in the thread...]
I have no idea why I find it offensive, but I do. Seeing names such as "Nancy Yu" and "Lucy Wang" simply irritate me. It's not a conscious decision. Perhaps in order to counteract this problem for the benefit of the parents, children, and peers, we should place much more emphasis in teaching English in these countries on popular, appropriate first names.
