There is a cartoon in the US called "Ni Hao, Kai Lan", about an American Chinese girl and her friends.
It looks quite cute, except I think its quite silly to call the main character Kai-Lan. I don't know if its pronounced like 'kailan' the vegetable, but it has the same spelling and surely someone in the network station would have done their research.
So, it looks to be intentional. Its like having a tv show called, "Hello Lettuce!", where Lettuce is the main character. Very weird.
Hello Romaine! Hello Broccoli! Ni Hao Tao Gei!
