Can you imagine the hoots and snorts of laughter when this poor guy's name was called out over the loudspeaker in the DMV office?
Or better yet, when he has to show his license for ID purposes, when he buys insurance for his vehicle or or applying for a loan at his local bank to buy his vehicle.

"There was a chinese restaurant in Richmond called Foo King. They eventually changed the name."
I can top that. There is (or was) a Chinese restaurant here in Chinatown (NYC) called Big Wong's. It is/was actually an excellent restaurant if you wanted authentic Chinese (no Kung Pow chicken, lomein noodles, chowmein, et cetera, and we were often the only non-Asians in the joint).

Some names just don't translate, that's for sure.

He'd never be able to order takeout food as everyone would think he was making a prank call.

We have a customer in China named "Long Wang". It can't be said without someone giggling.

Thank you.
My old roomate and I used to stay up late to watch reruns of Hawaii 5-0. We had an entire show in the background that we made up as the show progressed. Our show was much funnier and interesting than what was on the TV.
Zulu as Kono was a central figure. He served as Kam Fong as Chin Ho's henchman, who assisted Kam Fong as Chin Ho in his quest to unseat Steve McGarrett from his position of power.
I could go on and on, but our plot and narrative was something else.
