Can we use `another` here?About the difference between `the other`and `another`
I recently read this passage:The Mirror newspaper looked at what three women spend their money on. The first of them, Jo, spends a lot of her money going to all her football team`s games. The second of the three, Lisa, spends a lot of her money on food. The other woman in the survey,, the third one, Claire, spends her cash on her home. My question is `can we use `another` instead of `the other` in the last sentence?
We are often told that `the other` is referred to the person or thing of two or the rest of a group. Here if we use `the other` in the sentence what does it mean?

Will 'Sham"be used as a name in western English-speaking countries?
I spot somebody used this word "Sham" as his name. Later I looked it up in the dictionary and found out that it means "a fake person/ thing, or fraud feelings". In Chinese we will never used such words to name a person unless someone uses it as a netname often out of insincerity. Is it possible that in English-speaking countries people use it to give a name in everyday life?
