HA.....I JUST read that Schad. I didn't know there were laws regarding what you can or can't name your own children. (although sometimes it might be a good idea.....lol)

I BC you can't use the name Jesus, which of course is a common Mexican name.

because China is not a country of immigrants. In the old days, and to some extend today, whole villages have the same surname. Also the fact that the chinese worship their ancestors.

So you and your sister do not have the same last name?

oh last names. d'oh
I was thinking first names for some reason.
I'm there's only two males left in my generation in the world with my german last name. One of them is me and the other is my cousin. And my family grew up in a german enclave in Hungary where the germans didn't marry the hungarians etc.
