What if you were Chinese and your name was Wu Hoo?

What about Wu Who?  Wouldn't that be worse?  Actually Wu is a Chinese surname so few if any Chinese have it as a first name.  But it was fun anyway, right?

    You crack me up!! What comes over you to think of these things simply out of the blue?

    Yes, that is a funny name and thought.  What if she got married to guy named Long-Dong?  We would have Wu-Hoo, Long-Dong happily ever after! :) :) This post was edited by Merlin at June 10, 2019 7:34 PM MDT

    One of the first name jokes I posted drew some no-so-nice criticism from one of the Postings Police on here, insisting that I stop.  Just to show him/her, I started posting every similar joke that came to mind.  There were so many positive replies from other muggers that he/she stopped criticizing me and now just leaves me alone.  Still when ever I think of a new one I put it on here, knowing that some people appreciate that kind of humor.

  • Actually, in traditional Chinese names, the surname comes first, but "Hu" is a surname too. So it's unlikely that anyone would be named Wu Hu, but I guess it's not impossible. "Wu Hu" actually means "five lakes" in Chinese. 

    But there was a Chinese poet named Su Shi. lol

    Thank you for making this question.  You turned it into something way better than I did.

    Interesting.  So there may be a town or city in China named Wu Hu.  I love it.  Near where I live there's a town called Yehaw Junction.  I thought that was funny.  Maybe Wu Hu is funnier.

    Well it would make a lot more sense than if you were Polish or Russian or Eskimo or Slovakian or Indian.  

    Ya think?
