I ordered a couple pieces of re-embroidered tulle/chiffon laces from ebay to make some fancy overlays for doll skirts and they sent two additional pieces free for a thank you! It's all beautiful! One of the free pieces is a pale peachy-pink with metallic copper swirls. I can't wait to use them! I giggled at the little 'surprise from Jane' note attached to one of the free bits. Of course there are probably lots of people named Jane in China.

Sounds very pretty - we will require photos of the finished product(s)!

Assuming you're being sarcastic: I have noticed that lots of Chinese people give their kids internationally oriented names. Last year I thought three Chinese kids in my language class and their names were Nick, Nicole and Benjamin

Queen Elizabeth would be ill-advised to turn the throne over to William. He's not trained yet. She does a HECK of a lot more than most people suspect. She is briefed on every piece of legislation in front of Parliament and every major news situation that affects the UK every single morning. She is actually the official tie-breaker on a lot of governmental issues. She is the official advisor to every Prime Minister--and having worked with and known every single Prime Minister from Churchill on, she has a HUGE background of historical and governmental knowledge. In addition, she has many other duties both personal (overseeing the administration of the Royal Properties) to charitable (on the Board of Directors of many major charities).

The Monarch of Great Britain is not just a "showcase" monarch, she is a working monarch. She probably works harder than I do. William couldn't possibly do 1/4 of what she does.

On the business end of things, if the Chinese company is working internationally, the employees (when dealing w/international counter parts) will choose western names to make communication easier. I've seen a similar trend with companies like Mahindra in India as well

True. I guess what I was really saying is better William than Charles. Then again - it doesn't affect me one way or the other.

We have a Chinese exchange student this year. He uses the name Kevin, but I overheard him talking with another student about his real name, I didn't catch what it was though.

Oh really? In that case, perhaps the kids I taught had a Chinese name as well.. I don't know. I also taught two kids with typical Chinese names in the same year by the way ^^
