Yeah, i think his real name was Chi or something like it. I think i'd only heard him called his real name maybe once.

Ok, this may sound like BS, but this is a true story.

My mom worked at a doctor's office, and a coworker of hers was an asian woman. When the woman and her husband came to the US, someone suggested to them to take western type names to make it "easier" to socialize with the locals. So they chose Larry and Lucy. Only problem was, they couldn't pronounce the names the way most people do... so they called themselves Rarry and Rucy. They had a baby, and when they came to work to show everyone their new son, they announced his name to be Wincent (Vincent.) My mom was really fond of them, but couldn't help but chuckle a little.
