Simon - 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?

To me, as a native Chinese, "Hui Deng" is written in English, while "Deng
Hui" is written in Pinyin (Chinese phonetic alphabet) .


Best Regards,
Leaf

Very cool! Thanks for writing this!

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.

Thanks,
Simon
