[quote=Anonymous]I'll try to avoid asking too much, but when I do it's often because I have a connection to the culture I suspect your name might be from and sometimes it leads to interesting conversations. Is that Thai? Yes Cool, I lived in Thailand for ten years. Really? Which part? My grandparents are from.... But it could also go Nice name. What's the origin? Persian Wow, where are your parents from? Long story And we move right on because it's clear they're not interested. Also, I've heard from other people that it's offensive when people don't even bother trying to pronounce their long name. Sometimes knowing the origin helps with memory of pronunciation. Unfortunately it's hard to know if you're a person who wants to talk about it or not.[/quote]
