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) .

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
