[quote=Anonymous][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] Lovely, you change your heritage to make it easier for people who don’t matter to pronounce your name. But they can pronounce Tchaikovsky just fine. I’ll keep my South Indian name and hold my head up high[/quote]
