Thumbs up Are Asians Ashamed of their Names

Samir becomes Sam
Jahangir becomes John
Harjinder becomes Harry
Palwinder becomes Paddy
Aneesa becomes Annie

Above are just some examples that I have encountered of Asians wanting to be known by an English name.

Why is this ? Are Asians ashamed of their names ?

Re: Are Asians Ashamed of their Names

well you cant really say ashamed...first of all...hardly any foreigners can pronounce our name correctly...it takes ages for them to learn.....secondly.....a shorter name is not too bad...like me.....vishal to vish.....i didnt really make that convertion....ppl. in my school did...and i didnt have any problem with it.....
