Yeah my name 'Brad' sounds (to the Chinese ear) a lot like 'bread' so I get a lot of people calling me 面包 (mianbao) and I'm just like, no, it wasn't funny the first 10,000 times I heard it, and nothing has changed since then. Show some respect. Totally out of tolerance for that one. So I'm with Shannon on this one, don't mess with the name.
