Hey cīmon, where do you live? It is well known in the world that almost all asian countries use surname first, given name second. Remember the great chinese dictator Mao Zedong (Mike Tyson has a tattoo of him on his right arm), andybody knows Mao is his surname, Zedong the given name. Iīve never heard somone in the world saying or writing "Zedong Mao", never!
And if youīre talking with someone there will be no mistake. Example: Fedor Emalianenko talks with Choi Hong-man:
Fedor: "My name is Emelianenko, first name Fedor".
Choi: "My name is Choi, first name Hong-man".
There would be no problem at all...
At least anybody can do it like he want to. Iīll say Bruce Lee or Lee Siu Loong, not Lee Bruce or Siu Loong Lee.
