Re: Regarding call Chinese names

Very cool! Thanks for writing this!

Our pleasure.


I have a question: I think I've seen Chinese names written in both
orders. That is, sometimes "Hui Deng" will be written "Deng Hui". Am I
right? Does this happen often? What is the most common order? Is there a
way to guess what order a name is written in? Sometimes it's not easy
for non-Sinophones to know which part is the given name and which part
is the family name.

I notice most names in IETF are still presented in the English order,
given name first and family name later.

For names written with Family name first, usually it is encouraged to
put a ',' between.

Thanks,
