  it’s barely a variation on it, and also doesn’t make sense as a name because it consists of two common family names from two different Asian countries, Korea and China. if you’d like to reach, you might argue that both names come from either China or Korea with less common romanization of one of the names but it’s still two family names.

  but we already know through several examples that she doesn’t give a fuck when it comes to other cultures so it’s most likely that she thought of the phrase above and changed it a little so the editors wouldn’t have to tell her.

  it’s the same reason she didn’t use the name Tyrone Escapedslave for the black guy and settled for Kingsley fucking Shacklebolt.
