I figured it was backwards--I was seeing it reversed on some sites--I just wasn't sure which one was the backwards version and which was the forwards! :) Chinese names can be like that, too. Like for instance, one style I've studied was taught by a teacher named Yip Man, so his sons are named Yip Chun and Yip Ching. Gets confusing sometimes!
I hope the antibiotic clears it up. Is it feeling better than the past couple days? Hmmm, maybe you can get the dentist to give your ear some of that painkiller they use for your teeth :)
Hey, I just realized, that backwards-naming convention is used by the Sith Lords: Darth Sidious, Darth Vader, etc.
I thought "Darth" was a title. Like "Sir".
I think most Asian names are reversed. Not Indian, I suppose... at least I can generally tell what country a name is from. And which one's the personal name, for Japanese names, at least...
