		Foremost there is a huge difference between the Chinese names and the western names relating to the order of the given name and the family name.
		According to the western tradition, in a name the given name is firstly placed followed by the family name like Bill Clinton, the name has the given name followed by the family name.
		In the Chinese culture utmost importance is given to ancestors and family and hence they pay respect to their ancestors by placing the family name ahead of the given name.

		Given names resonant of qualities which are perceived to be either masculine or feminine are frequently given, with males being linked with strength and firmness, and females with beauty and flowers.

	Korean Names
		When a new name was created, the family was given some land by a king and the city where the land was located became known as 'bon' or origin.
		Also, when people with only given names (lower class, and domestic slaves) were allowed to use (or to buy) family names, they preferred to use one out of existing names instead of creating new and thereby recognizable names for their own benefit.
		Since a generational name is not a middle name in American sense, and not exactly a given name either, Koreans are not sure how to anglicize their names.

	The Spelling and Pronunciation of Shakespeare's Name
		Even the simplest proper names were spelled a variety of ways, but we can at least look at the range of different spellings used for a given name and see what patterns emerge.
		The name of the Protestant martyr Sir John Oldcastle, the original model for Shakespeare's Falstaff, was often hyphenated as Old-castle.
		There were not two separate names, "Shakspere" and "Shakespeare"; rather, they were the same name, with "Shakespeare" being by far the most common spelling both in non-literary references to the glover's son from Stratford and in literary references to Shakespeare as a poet and playwright.

	My Name
		In case of double syllable given names, traditionally, the first character, which corresponds to the first syllable of course, is a generation marker.
		Until a few decades ago, double character names were the norm, and families were maintaining family hierarchy charts in which those labels were predefined for future generations, and because of that naming a new born child is just a matter of picking the second character, which could also has morphological association across siblings.
		Addressees with single given names, for example, Yao Ming, can be called by their full names, or by adding a prefix to their family name or given name.

	BARRINGTON as a given name
		Mary was baptised and married as a Barrington, although her grandfather, Robert, spelt the name as Berrington with an E as well as Barrington with an A. The E spelling was used by Robert's ancestors, and Mary's father and brothers reverted to it in later life.
		Incidentally George Barrington Kemp valued the name enough to give it to his own son, the second George Barrington Kemp, and Thomas Kemp's other children were not given any second given name, Barrington or otherwise.
		It would seem reasonable therefore for anyone of (or with a nominal link to) that descent through the female line, to take an interest in perpetuating the name as a given one. So probably, over the years, Ann Kemp, by then Ann Best, began to wish that her Best family were perpetuating her grandmother's Barrington name.

	Scottish Gaelic Given Names

		However, this is not a straight forward exercise, as the form of a Gael's name in Scots or Latin may be very different from the form of his or her name in Gaelic.
		In a Gaelic document from 1560, his given name is recorded as ; in a contemporary Scots language translation of the same document, the Earl's given name is recorded as .
