Tips

usage
Most common real-world bearer in Chinese-language media: bass virtuoso Victor Wooten (维克多·伍顿) of Béla Fleck and the Flecktones. The character is the standard subtitle equivalent of '-ton' / '-don' - you'll see the same pattern in 华盛顿 (Washington), 牛顿 (Newton), 林顿 (Linton).
memory
('five' or surname) + ('pause / -ton'). The here is purely phonetic - picking up the 'Woo-' sound - and is the workhorse '-ton' character that closes hundreds of English-name transliterations.
