Actually, this kind of bumble-fuck name change happens fairly often. My wife's name got accidentally recorded wrongly by a teacher in some official school records. Next it got transfered on to her ID. Now it's impossible to change it back. I'm guessing the teacher was literate, but I could be wrong.

Why don't you just go by Mike, instead of Michael?

I like the way that Peijin always inserts some choice profanity into his posts.

Once I had a student on my class roster named Chen Xue Bian. All the students would laugh whenever I called it. She never showed up at school, though. Maybe she also couldn't face the world with a name like that.

I feel this guys pain, since my Chinese name is pretty damn close to a Hong Kong mega-star's. For twenty years I've heard the same jokes "oh you must be his little brother" Listen .. . 1. I've heard all the jokes before and 2. My parents named me well before he got famous.
