Some Chinese name their children with English letters and transliterated words

Some Chinese name their children with English letters and transliterated words according to an article published at Yahoo News.

"In one of the strangest names, parents tried to call their son "Ã ", while other people have used transliterated English names to make their own sound more western, The First newspaper reported. "

I knew that it was common in many countries including China and Mexico to have English nicknames but I'm surprised how much of an effect English speaking cultures are having on Media-limited China.
