In the case of her name, the 娜 character is pronounced na4 in Cantonese, as is usually used in cases of Cantonese translation of the "na" syllable in foreign languages, and not the original no4 or no5 pronounciations. Kelvinc 00:33, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

It's okay: I doubt anyone would've known that just from the Wikipedia article. Her romanization might have something to do with her French Polynesian background, but I'm just guessing. "Koon" is how she romanizes it, though: see her official website. But it's difficult to know what's the "right" romanization: the standard Cantonese romanization alphabets are useless for Chinese names in Hong Kong, which if anything resembles Wade-Giles (except without the apostrophe, furthering the chaos). The homonym 觀 is romanized "Kwun" by the MTR, so my suspicion is that 官 would be romanized the same way by long-time HK residents (the surname is rather rare so I don't know for sure).

PS: standardization of any sort on Chinese entertainers in Wikipedia has been pretty lacking. There's just not enough people who actually know the rules and know these entertainers to do the job. Kelvinc 11:09, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Sorry can't help you there. Not really much of a Candy fanatic myself.  :-P Kelvinc 10:02, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
