whats with their english names???
River, Bacon, King.... cant they come up with something more normal and less of a joke...

Yeah.. I thought the names were pretty funny too.. at least the main characters have normal names..

It's similar to La Femme Desperado.. Pluto, Venus and Please..

i know!! i was like.. bacon?? @_@
even more funnier than the names in lfd..

lol i guess it would be funny and easier if they use names like that. dont need to think, just think of an english word.

Actually, the names in LDF are not that bad except for Please. Venus and Pluto are names of Roman gods. How bad can those be?

But Bacon is bad. So is Coffee.

One more.. "Apple"

.. but it's not as unusual considering Gwenyth Paltrow's daughter has that name..


It was also the name of Gallen's gf in Secret of the Heart.. I have a good memory!

yeh these names are quite stupid. why would you want to use names like river, bacon, coffee? thats just weird!! LFD names weren't that bad, at least they were better than these!

perhaps TVB's running outta proper english names. or they just want the characters to stand out more (but the characters are usually supporting ones). sigh, whatever happened to the good ol' names like John or Joe lol.

haha.. the apple in GF was acted by Eileen Yeow..

come on this is a comedy series, they are trying hard to make it relax, laid back and funny, just ride along.

those names are quite silly but isn't one of the workers named GAS??? I'm not sure but Melissa came out of her office and called someone "Gas". I'm like...WHAT?? HIS NAME IS GAS??? That's got to be worst of the worst.

I know. those name are funny. River, who would name them river. lol

I didn't notice anyone name Gas, but yeah, that's the funny one.

LOL. TVB ran out of names..

i think they just wanted to name their characters with names that are easy to pronounce.. =p

got more names for you guys. theres now ginger, gas and happy! they are so ridiculous, can't wait for more as we watch more episodes! so funny, think tvb may be doing this on purpose to attract our attention!

Is jack wu's name here rice or its some other guys? it was in episode 11 after melissa asks cherrie to go shopping, movies, eating after work. then she said King should just ask melissa and rice to be the couple.

rice ?? i only heard he has an chinese name .. didnt heard his english name .. gosh crazy names huh..

well for those of u that are old enuf to remember...there was a famous american actor called River Phoenix (brother of Joaquin Phoenix), but he died a long time ago

(TVB is tryin` to make a coffee shop lol)

At least Ken and Hazel is normal

Isnt pauls name in the series like Smart蟈

lol i kinda agree with tvb coming up with more normal names, but hey their names does give some laughter, maybe thats y they made it like that. but b4 when i heard melissa in a scene calling bacon, i thought she was calling some dog or something lol.

ahh i ALSO noticed the names..
itz SOO weird..

who would name their kid RICE?!?!!?
or BACON?!?!

they call him river cause his chinese name is river.
so i guess they just translated that.

BUT BACON!

yeah the whole bacon thing is a weird thing....probably the writers wrote the script at the canteen or something

I think I heard it pronounced as Rice, but I think it's supposed to be Royce, or at least I hope it is.
Some like Bacon and Coffee are really dumb, but others may be simply their pronounciation.

I believe some actor are named "Coffee", "Bacon" and "Rice" in the series. Is this typical of TVB or there are people that actually use these as their names?

haha i dont get why either its such stupid names but its really weird and funny . i hate the names tho it really bother me why they cant pick normal name atleast names not object or food names

There was also someone named Gas. I don't know why they would do that cause it's pretty pathetic.

haha i like the names
i actually laughed out loud when i heard bacon ... ahahha

These names are original, but in the same categorie.. Ok it is funny to use once, but TVB don't have that much inspiration. They also use other celebrities names in series (Don.. Mandy.. )

The names here are all FOOD

Did anyone notice the dog's name is like Bernice's character's name in ITA? I think it might be written differently, but I forgot. :]

why do they have to use french names???




yes, i noticed that but it's no big deal. it's just an ordinary chinese name.




um hello...those names don't belong to the celebrities...Don and Mandy are common names. (i don't remember don and mandy in the series).

I think the name River is kinda cool. Apple is also ok. Coffee also passable (at least, I think of the sweet smell of coffee when I heard that name). But Bacon certainly is not. Who the hell will name their kid or themselves after a piece of meat?

yea the names are geteting wierder....its even more wierd than in La Femme...with names like Rice, Smart, Coffee, River Bacon...OMG

The only names that make sense in this show is melissa, sunny, kenneth, and cherrie's names which are hazel, ken, tim, and maggie. It makes more sense than bacon, river, rice, and coffee.

So let's see....for breakfast we have 'Bacon, coffee', lunch 'Rice and apple' and dinner 'Maggi (maggie) noodles'...we need 'Gas' to cook them...and the best place to have them is it sit besides a 'River' where there's some 'Wind' (breeze)..LOL!!!

Winnie Shum's chinese name in the show is 'tong yan gai' (chinatown!)
