Oho Ou → Ou Hao – His name in Chinese characters is 欧豪 (Ōu Háo in pinyin).

It's written in Latin script on posters, disc cases and distributors' pages for films he's acted in as Ou Hao.

Some examples:

[1]
[2]
[3] (in the billing block on the back)
[4] (in the billing block on the back)
[5] (in the billing block on the back).

It's written in Latin script on the covers of music releases and on Apple Music etc. as OHO, which is written as one word but sounds like both syllables of his full Chinese name.

The current article title, "Oho Ou", is a weird, unofficial mash-up of the above two spellings that makes no sense because it contains the Ōu sound of his family name twice (as Oh- and then Ou), both before and after the Háo sound of his personal name (as -ho). Converting it back into Chinese characters would get you "欧豪欧" (Ōu Háo Ōu), which is clearly wrong.

As he's now known more for acting than music, I propose making Ou Hao the article title and mentioning in the opening that he's also known mononymously as OHO. Tempjrds (talk) 00:53, 3 July 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Bensci54 (talk) 16:52, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I see a decent number of sources for both titles: "Oho Ou"[6][7][8][9] and "Ou Hao"[10][11][12]. This source[13] uses both, and this one[14] combines them Hong Kong-style as "Oho Ou Hao" and "Oho Ou Hau". The film posters are evidence that "Ou Hao" is more official, so that might be a reasonable tiebreaker in a case like this where both forms seem reasonably widely used. —Mx.
