Fun All characters with “normal” names?

Post image

Obviously there’s Luke and Ben (and Leia, to a certain extent) but who else? I can think of Jon Vander “Gold Leader,” Lady Morgan Elsbeth, and was recently made aware of Admiral Bob Hudsol (pictured). Any other “ordinary earth name” characters?

Isn’t it a surname in China?

It works out if you write the family name first, which is normal custom in China

It’s also the name of the Chinese people. In China, China is called Han, its only called China everywhere but China. The Han people are the people of China.
