It has gotten way out of hand (a total of 150 people applied to change their names!) that the Taiwanese officials had to beg for their citizens not to. Can you imagine all the paperwork?

"Salmon Fried Rice."
"Salmon Prince."
"Meteor Salmon King."
Our question is: would you legally change your name for free food?
