Stuff Asian People Like

103. Naming Daughters After Jewelry
Asians love to name their children, especially daughters, after brand labels. Surely you know of a Tiffany or Chanel.
To understand this trend, one must first explore the different expectations Asians have between their sons and daughters.

In a society practicing promigeniture, the sons are expected to carry on the family name and possibly do something productive once they move out of the house by age 40, whereas the daughters are seen as chattel… like jewelry.

You will never meet an asian man named Dunhill or Zegna. This is because the asian parents value their sons more than their daughters and do more to save them from societal mockery.

And don’t think the asian parents are not aware of what they are doing when naming their daughter Cartier. They are supplanting their subliminal message to offer their daughters for sale. It is a well known statistic that daughters named after jewelry tend to fetch a higher dowery than non-jewelry named daughters.

So the next time you meet your friend’s new wife Prada, recall the points of this article.
