when I was at my first job, a callcenter that took calls from the US for Microsoft in Argentina, we had a scripted greeting where we said our name, but it couldn't be our actual real name. We had to come with an english name. Mine was Eric.

that's it, that's the post.

I genuinely do not understand why people feel the need to apply this kind of social pressure to Anglicise. The guy who runs the corner shop nearest me wears a name tag that says "Paul".

He is a lovely man called Mandip who is very kind and can never do enough to help if you're nice to him.

Again, his name is Mandip. Man-dip. It's not even difficult to pronounce.

Boggles the mind.
@Cal Alæra because xenophobia. Also it was the early 2000s
