The second paragraph was a bit offensive. Back then, parents named their boys embarrassing names like 'girl' and 'dog' because it was to protect them from getting snatched and sacrificed by demons (don't ask), not because they were lazy. I don't know if they still do it but if they do, I pity their sons. Oh, oh. I heard about that from my mother. (Chinese as well, just not in... well, China) Apparently, it has something to do with family demons back then?

Actually, isn't that still a thing? When you're young, you'll get an embarassing/boring name, and it's when you grow up that your parents give you your proper real name.
