Change your name! - Page 5

The world has gotten smaller and people of different cultures, languages, creeds and the like are more in contact with each other. Rather than trying to be like everyone around you or wanting everyone to be like you, we should use these interactions as opportunities to learn more about ohters and create openings for others to feel comforatble enough with us to ask us about ourselves. This wayt we would create a better understanding amongst the peoples of the world.

I thought this topic was related to the practice of people changing their name after marriage. It's becoming so common for people to give their kids easy to pronounce British/American names. Others give their kids name that can easily be shortened to something easy to pronounce. Amrita becomes Amy, Nikhil becomes Nick and so on. I'm in love with some Indian names, their origins and the meanings so I would most definitely do not want to give my kids (whenever I have them) a non-Indian name.

"Give your daughters difficult names. Give your daughters names that command the full use of tongue. My name makes you want to tell me the truth. My name doesn't allow me to trust anyone that cannot pronounce it right."
