ArchivesRe: names
in reply to a message by gunblade007
Is there any possibility that the girl was ethnically Chinese who was raised in Japan? I mean, that happens more frequently than we realize. Because to me, (though my Mandarin knowledge is very, very basic) "Shawn" could sound like names --- Xian, Xiang, Shan, Shen --- depending on the character that her names is written with --- although feminine Chinese are typically build from two characters.
(**-"Xi" is pronounced nearly identical to "Sh" to Western ears... however, there IS a difference to native speakers

well lynnmar,
i went to the mall monday afternoon and the guy i usually talk to said she was the only japanese who work there. but he told me her name. but he didn't know how to spell it. he though you spell it like tuy but it sound like tree or three or maybe tray or tweet like what a bird makes.
