I don't think PhiGam meant that they should change their names. I think he meant that because their names are so short (i.e. Ko) what is the point in trying to make it more "Americanized" when someone should be able to say/read that name.

Man, she needs to come to the Burgh and try to deal with some of the Polish etc names around here. Aren't a lot of the Asian name translations pretty standard at this point?

Thank you, I'm glad you were able to comprehend what I was saying.
