HONGKONG, KOMPAS.com — Kini semakin banyak imigran dari China daratan ke Hongkong yang mengganti ejaan nama panggilan mereka agar terkesan “lebih Hongkong”.

Pengacara Raymond Tang, Senin (23/11), kepada harian South China Morning Post, menuturkan, firmanya menerima lebih banyak permintaan klien kelahiran China daratan untuk mengganti ejaan nama mereka.

Misalnya, klien penutur bahasa Putonghua meminta nama Zhu menjadi Chu atau Zeng menjadi Tsang. ”Sejumlah nama dalam ejaan Putonghua dimulai dengan X atau Z dan banyak warga migran baru ingin ejaan nama mereka diganti agar terdengar seperti warga Hongkong yang tumbuh di kota ini,” kata Tang.

Data dari Departemen Imigrasi Hongkong menunjukkan, setiap bulan rata-rata ada 105 permohonan penggantian nama dalam sembilan bulan pertama tahun 2009, lebih tinggi dari empat tahun sebelumnya. Nama-nama yang terdiri atas dua huruf juga diganti menjadi tiga huruf karena nama dua huruf lazim di China daratan.
