Ironically, my name is the most difficult of all.
Even half the Chinese professors need to consult a dictionary before they're sure how to pronounce my name.
The first part, "Feng" (phoenix) is a common girl's name, but the second part is v. v. unusual (and usually not given to a girl). It's because my paternal grandfather consulted a Chinese fortune teller re: my name =P And he said I lack the "fire" element. So I ended up with _four_ fire elements in my name. Yikes. That might explain the anger problem lolol.

very. there's an entire school of fortune-telling based upon it. and Name-magic was most prevalent and lasted longest in Chinese folk culture than anywhere else.
This may have something to do with our unnecessarily large alphabet.
