Talk:Yang Xiao Long/@comment-27347325-20151205085953

Just a fun fact, if we're following the Chinese method of naming, we've been using Yang's name wrongly since RWBY came out.

Her name is Yang Xiao Long, and we use Yang like a first name. But in Chinese, Yang would be the surname and her actual name--the one people call her by--would be Xiao Long (which  incidentally means 'small dragon' in Chinese).

Another thing is that since her father was named Taiyang Xiao Long, by Chinese naming customs, her name would actually be that of her dad's, since Chinese surnames are taken from the dad of the family.

Before you guys whale on me, let me just say that I 100% understand RT meant it to be this way. I just find it humorous how we never saw this.
