To "Noriyuki" Oneself

That is the term WHS uses to describe a person with a non-western name offering a simpler, westernized noun that others may use to identify him easier. The term is named after Oscar-nominated actor Noriyuki "Pat" Morita.

From today's Daily Record (Scotland) "New Bhoy Ki Sung-Yeung says: Just call me Dave":

"KI SUNG-YEUNG has told his new Celtic team-mates to call him David.

The South Korean playmaker swears he's found the perfect way to avoid confusion over saying his name."
