Kelly Cheung denies changing Chinese name for good luck

19 Nov – TVB actress Kelly Cheung recently denied rumours that she changed her name to change her fortune.

As reported on Mingpao, the actress, whose personal life has been the subject of discussion among TVB fans since she starred in the hit series, "Life on the Line", admitted that her Chinese name Cheung Hei Man was not her original birth name, adding that it was no secret that it was changed in the past.

However, unlike previous reports that her name was changed on the advice of a fortune teller so that she could have a better fortune, Kelly said that the story is more mundane than that.

"I was born Cheung Wing Yan. But after realising that there were a lot of people with the same name, my parents decided to change my name. It wasn't changed by a fortune teller. My dad changed it himself," she said.

Kelly said that the misunderstanding might have been caused by her previous interview. During the interview, the actress shared that she told a Feng Shui master about her name change and was later told by the latter that the new name was a good choice.
