Per Mui Siu Wai...

http://www.hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mht ... ay_set=eng

It appears that she has an English name, and that name is...Cutie! Check her webpage out below...

http://geocities.com/cutiesabode/main.html

Click on "Cutie As Cutie", then "Career Aspect", and you'll quite some details pertaining to the many films she has catalogued in this very database. In the spirit of keeping current...how about an update?

:)

Great find! So appropriate :)

Changed her main English name to Cutie Mui Siu Wai, because, made Mooi Siu Wai an alias (it's an odd transliteration and I've seen Mui in credits, and that's how everyone writes her name on the website).

It's not an 'odd' transliteration: it's just one of many (7 that I know of) Cantonese romanisations. Below I have attached a table comparing the common ones.

On this site, the system generated Cantonese romanisation uses the Sydney-Lau romanisation. There is no 'official' romanization system in HK or Guangdong for Cantonese, unfortunately...

Sorry, the "odd" was a bit flippant ;) "It's less common to see double-vowel transliterations, in my experience", would be the non-flippant version :)

Flippancy clashing with pedantry... :wink: :D

I remember getting told off by one of my teachers for being "flippant" at school. I was incredibly proud :D
