Well, I know this is a petty little rant...

Do not be sorry cuz you are right and i like what you said
It is much proficient to have the actual names than coming up with crap
i like the real names batter than 'river, lake,sea!!??' Like wtf am I reading ...
⁄(⁄ ⁄·⁄ω⁄·⁄ ⁄)⁄ but still like the manga (▰˘◡˘▰)

Bin he（ 滨河）means river in chinese
Hai（ 海）is sea
Maybe translator thought the chinese names were too difficult to pronounce for Englishes audience

I think that we as English speakers should learn to get used to names that are in the original language. I feel that is more respectful to the original material. We've gotten used to Japanese names and Korean, so why not Chinese?

I prefer the original names too even if it is hard to remember the names at first if a person keeps reading the story I find for myself it doesn't take long for it to be easy to remember. It doesn't matter if the translated version of their names DOES mean that I do prefer the original, although the meaning of their names are interesting and pretty I still prefer the original. ╮(￣▽￣)╭ (๑•ㅂ•)و✧

I guess for me it is almost like if someone were to take Junjou Romantica and change the names of the characters to English ones even if those names were the official translation of their names I wouldn't like it. For one thing it kind of takes away from the original concept and uniqueness of the ethnicity of the webtoon/manga artist's origin. Σ(っ°Д °;)っ(⊙…⊙ )

So for me I prefer the original and will ALWAYS stick to it.(▰˘◡˘▰)

I totally agree with you!!
And I don't know, if I will be in minority here, but I can't stand it even when the original names are changed into more familiar, like John, Chris and so on. Like come on!! It's not impossible to remember Chinese or Korean names! Changing them just feels wrong.

I also prefer the original names because somebody named Lake or River sounds awkward, but I don't really understand why it would be more respectful to the original material. The author wrote those names in a way they would mean something, the readers in the original language keep reading them seeing their meaning. If we translate the conversations but not the names, we are the ones missing on some information that was put there.
