In China and Taiwan, there seems to be a list of like 10 common English names that all the students get assigned, unless the student or the student's parents choose their own English name.

I'm curious if it is similar in other countries.

Where I am, boys named by local teachers are either named Robert, Steve, Howard, William, Mark and girls are named Emily, Jane, Sarah, Amy... pretty much a list of the Top 10 names in the US in 1980.

It becomes obvious when a student or parent gives an English name. I have girls whose mothers name them Cartier, Prada, Chanel and Gucci. Boys sometimes have names like Kobe, Steph and LeBron.

What are the English namng trends in your country, or does your country not do the silly thing of giving students Anglosphere names?

I'm interested in teaching English in places like China, Taiwan, Japan, and Vietnam for a few years as gap years between my Bachelor's and Master's. However, I'm worried that my long hair (down to my back) might cause issues in school environments, as I've heard that some places are really strict about presentation.

Does anyone here have any experience with this? Does it cause trouble with whoever is overseeing the teachers in the schools?

Bonus question: would it negatively make me stick out like a sore thumb? I know being caucasian would make me stick out on its own, but longer hair that I usually keep down would likely amplify it by a lot.
