[quote=Anonymous]I think it's fine to give them Indian names, but just simple ones that are easy to pronounce. I work in tech with a lot of Indians, and some of their names are difficult to pronounce if you just see the name without someone sounding it for you. And I say this as another Asian person. I had an Asian first name that was not the easiest to figure out if you were not from my culture. So many people, including other Asian cultures, would butcher it. I grew up in the US, live here, will probably die here, so I changed my first name to a western name to make my life easier. My kids have western first names, and my ethnic sounding middle names.[/quote]
