Chinese Couple Wants to Name Baby @
Would you name your child the literal “@” symbol? In the US there’s probably no law against it. In Chinese, the name “at” even sounds a little bit like 爱他, or “love him.”
However, a Chinese couple who wanted to do so ran afoul of 国家语委, the national language commission. Chinese last names, recently expanded to four characters, have the unique problem of having 129 of 23,000 surnames accounting for 87% of the population.
