Oh haha, I didn't mean Chang is ONLY Korean last name.. there are 
quite a few last names shared by both Koreans and Chinese, for 
instance, Lee (or sometimes spelled as Li, altho if it's 'LI' then 
it's definitely Chinese, not Korean).. I believe it's because some 
people from China settled in Korea (like my last name, Myung, has its 
origin in China but I'm Korean) - it was extremely rare back then for 
Korean people to travel abroad and settle.

What I meant was that both CHO and CHANG are quite common Korean last 
names (I don't think I've met any Chinese with the last name Cho).. 
but to use "Cho" as a girl's first name.. that's highly unusual since 
if the name is put in Korean way (which will be more closely 
pronounced as "Jang Jo").. then it sounds AWFUL, funny and weird.. 
kinda like a part of Korean food and.. just really really ODD.. I 
apologize for going on and on about her name, I just really hate that 
name since it's just very unlikely.  Although I doubt JK Rowling knew 
too much about it anyways.
