Yeah, but it's still not really a given name, I think? More like...just a word. I figured if she could give people like Seamus and Igor and Padma and Parvati names that were actual first names, she could have done the same for Cho. You have a point that Rowling likes to give her characters Very Meaningful Names, but that's usually only the case for the "non-ethnic"-ized characters, if that makes sense. Like the aforementioned characters all have very traditional/stereotypical names for their ethnicities, and then you have the characters like Remus Lupin and Draco Malfoy, who seem to have been in a different naming category altogether. And I'm pretty sure that none of this is making sense because I'm being incredibly inarticulate right now.

(And this is where you tell me that I'm 100% wrong and that "cho" actually is a name for people of Sino-Japanese descent, heh. :D)
