[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah I find it ridiculous both when Irish Americans call their kid Caoimhe and other Irish names no one can pronounce.  I also find it annoying when Indian Americans insist on naming their kid a Hindu sounding name that no one can pronounce!

Doesn’t matter if the kid is brown or white. It’s a huge pet peeve of mine either way![/quote]

Sounds like you're too dumb to figure out how to pronounce things foreign to you - other people can hear someone tell them a pronunciation and then get it right, not that hard.
Do you also think American expats living in India should give their kids Indian names?  :roll: [/quote]

Actually I have a PhD from an Ivy league school and am from an immigrant background myself,  so I’m not that dumb. But even if I was, there’s no need to be mean.[/quote]

I think you’re the one being mean saying that “Hindu sounding names” are “annoying.”  I’d expect better from an Ivy League educated immigrant.[/quote]
