the 411.......American(?) girl living in Beijing decides to ask local people if they have an American name and if so, pronounce it. It's not hilarious, more like a funny sneak peek into another culture.

What I DID find funny is at 4:16...... who is this? I WANNA KNOW!

I have lots of really good Chinese friends in Malaysia, and I wondered about this. It turns out that they are all of the Roman Catholic faith, having been converted by British Missionaries. They have Saints names as Christan names. The others who are not RC think it is cool and hip to have these names.
