Chinese and Japanese, however, usually adopts the preference of locale name ordering.
For example, Stephen Paul Jobs is rendered from Roman to Kana as スティーブン・ポール・“スティーブ”・ジョブズ Suteibun Pouru Jobuzu
In Chinese as 史蒂夫·喬布斯 Shidifu Qiaobusi

- jasonjei 7y agoRight. I am not disagreeing with you. I am pointing out that Chinese/Japanese both adopt Western name ordering for Western names in an effort to demonstrate that Chinese or Japanese name ordering should be adhered in English. Would you kindly inform me what I said is wrong?
- zapzupnz 7y agoWhen did I say anything of what you said is wrong? I was merely reinforcing my own point, in case anybody reading both comments felt any ambiguity; that the writing system doesn't matter, the name should still retain the correct order — and the correct order is the one by which the name's owner is called. We were both agreed, I was just adding detail.
