Many Asian parents choose Anglo names for their babies.
Then again, I'm probably misunderstanding you. ;-) But I hope these parents are Asian, otherwise it's one step closer to my (paranoid?) fear of the "OMG itz IRYSH!!1!" trend being transferred to "OMG itz JAPANEES!1!!*"...
*Japanese, of course, would be the only Asian language known to tryndees if this horrific trend does indeed come to pass. And that would only because of anime/manga/etc. making Japan "kewl".
