LONDON, July 5 (Xinhua) -- Many people from Asia find themselves a westernised forename to make it easier for their friends and colleagues in the west.
Especially as many westerners struggle to get their vocal chords to pronounce some names from China.
But will they swop popular choices such as David or Emily to follow in the footsteps of one of Britain's most quirky and eccentric members of parliament.
Conservative Jacob Rees-Mogg and his wife Helena have named their newly arrived son Sixtus Dominic Boniface Christopher. As the name implied, it's Rees-Mogg's sixth child.
Picking name options from Sixtus' five siblings may not help. The other members of the Rees-Mogg clan are called Alfred Wulfric Leyson Pius, Thomas Wentworth Somerset Dunstan, Peter Theodore Alphege, Anselm Charles Fitzwilliam and Mary Anne Charlotte Emma.
Rees-Mogg's quirky style of addressing his fellow MPs in the House of Commons has proved so popular, he is fast emerging as a star on social media.
There are even tee-shirts on sale showing the bespectacled MP with the words:"The Mogg Father".
One comment appearing on a popular social media site Wednesday to celebrate the arrival of the MPs sixth child, said: "How wonderful, congratulations!!! Now let's get Sixtus and the others into number 10!"
One of the top selling national tabloids was even suggesting Wednesday that the "utterly British eccentric" politician is gaining cult-status on social media, adding "and with Theresa May on the skids, he's being tipped to run for the top job" as prime minister.
The son of the renowned and one-time long-serving editor of the London Times newspaper, William Rees-Mogg was educated at top school Eton before heading to Oxford.
One of Britain's best known political sketch writers, Quentin Letts, has even described Rees-Mogg as "the honourable member of parliament for the early 20th century".
Rees-Mogg earned a place in parliamentary record books five years ago when he used what would become the longest word ever printed in Hansard, the official record of debates in the Houses of Parliament.
Later, he said the 29-letter word, floccinaucinihilipilification meant the "act or habit of estimating as worthless" and that it "came to mind as it does from time to time".
The highly euro-sceptic Conservative explained in a media interview that the use of the word had helped in his criticism of judges in the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg.
