A couple of questions and a pointer

Postby Mike Thomason » Fri Nov 18, 2005 5:25 am

When did...

Ha Ping become "Teresa" Ha?

and composer Chow Kam Cheung become "Sherman" Chow?

I've never seen either of these people creditted as such and was just wondering what sources are cited for their English names? Obviously I missed something along the way and now seek enlightenment...:)

Also, by way of a resource and for seeking English names of numerous Chinese actors, I found the following website invaluable!

http://bluecrys.com/index.html

It's a great index of many, many Hong Kong TV series and lists all of the performers per series, often accompanied by their English names. It was the place that confirmed for me that Mak Chui Han...

...does inded have an English name, and that name is "Betty"! Hopefully this resource will help the database's editors with their further work.

Cheers,
Michael

In both Teresa and Sherman's cases, I moved the English name from an alias into the primary English name - but I don't know where the alias came from originally...

No worries...was only asking anyway, as I'd never seen those English names before. But, just because I haven't doesn't mean someone else hasn't! ;)

Carry on regardless...:)

Yes, I'm curious where they came from now... I can't remember if I've seen them in credits myself... both seem familiar, but maybe just from this site... hmmm!

Well found !
Can we have some volunteers to trawl this site for English names, then update and sex [set gender for] these actors ?
