The I love when people have perfect names. The victims lawyers name is Ouchi.

This is pretty tragic, reading the article there is no way this is an isolated incident

There is a hypothesis, “nominative determinism”, that posits that people tend to gravitate toward professions that “match” their names. I don’t fully buy it, but it’s an interesting idea that has at least some evidence to support it.

Wang, Oh, Ouchi... Asian names can be hilarious for an English speaker. The incident itself is not that hilarious on the other hand.

The reverse is also true - I recall reading an artucle that lists English names and their (often offensive) homonyms in Cantonese.
