What's in a name? A lot

The unusual names of some freshmen in universities have come as a surprise to many. Though there is no specific rule for naming children, parents should give a thought to the names they choose for their offspring, says an article in Nanfang Daily. Excerpts:

The names of two new students of Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Hubei province who share the same dormitory are Kang Xi (the title used by the fourth emperor of the Qing Dynasty [1644-911]) and Wang Zi (which means "prince" in English). And the name of a freshman in Nanjing Audit University is Yong Zheng (the title of the fifth emperor of Qing Dynasty).
