Having never taught in Cambodia before, I was wondering if anyone could tell me if it is common for EFL students in Cambodia to use English or English-sounding names as Chinese students often do.
Any comments appreciated!

It's hot when Chinese women have American names like Jenny, Julie, etc.

Faeries, come take me out of this dull world, For I would ride with you upon the wind, Run on the top of the dishevelled tide, And dance upon the mountains like a flame.

It's not particular to students- many people here have nicknames, often multiple ones depending on who they are talking with. Sometimes they will choose English or at least easily-pronounceable names.
