[quote=Anonymous]Elder millennial here. Every single Chinese-American I went to school with had an "American" first name they went by. See also "Nikki" Haley, "Bobby" Jindal, etc. It's just what people did back then. The trend has shifted back to people reclaiming ethnic names, and we gave our own DC an ethnic name with no obvious nickname. If he comes to me at 7 and says kids are picking on him because of his name, I'm not going to tell him he can't go by a nickname just to suit my own agenda. I hope that as he grows, he appreciates his name and origin and keeps it. [/quote]
