last becomes first

One thing that always irks me is to see people name themselves or their children with Western surnames. It has become quite common to see people going by the names of Johnson and Jackson (eg. Jackson Tai of DBS). But it's still silly if you ask me.

But those two cases are still alright because they're quite ambiguous. What's worse is when the family names of famous footballers are used. We've all heard of actor Keagan Kang, although I'm assuming that he's named after Kevin Keagan the footballer. Now there's someone called Lineker, which looks like a name gotten from Gary Lineker, another English footballer.

What's next? Beckham Oh? Or does Shevchenko Oh sound better?
