I do too. They're called 'quanpu' which literally means 'fist lyrics'. They are often based upon chengyu, which are rhyming idiomatic character sets, which I also love. Sometimes they're just descriptive like 'Horse stance, right punch.' Other times they are very evocative and poetic like 'monkey grabs the peach' (crotch grab).
I've themed many articles using quanpu as subheads.

Perhaps. Those can be so blurry for me because I'm juggling umpteen things in my brain, as you know, but I thought a name like Caxton would stick out. Sometimes Chinese choose odd 'western' names. There was this kid at Lam Kwoon who chose 'Radium' as his western name. He was quite the little nerd but ended up in HK film biz doing bts work. That was his dream and I never thought he'd make it.
