Naming system

Chinese naming system: continuous, theoretically any combination of "kanji"s
Western naming system: quantized, jumps from Ann to Anna and not to Annb, from Katrin to Catherine...

This is just absurd theory!

Sneeze

Do people in different countries sneeze in different languages?

In Japan: "haxion!", and sometimes very literally "haxion!"
In China: "Ahti-!" "Ahchiu!"
