I had a student from China and he gave me his American name. I called him by his Chinese name. It took time to get it right, but I did. He sent me something from China that I still have today.

If they can say Kowalczyk and Schneiderman and Oppenheimer, they can say Atsuko.

My Grandma was renamed Doris because her name, Tsuruko, was too difficult for them to pronounce. I think it’s the “tsu” that trips them up, lol 😅

I had korean neighbours as a kid & they had both their real asian names & the western english names. So we only knew them by the english names since that was what they were comfortable with. They would say "my english name is ____". For their kids too. They were really sweet

Not the same thing, but my grandmother changed her name when she immigrated from Germany fit in better.

I always found this really sad. Some Asian names can be a bit harder for English speakers to pronounce, but literally just do your best. I don’t think anyone should have to change their name or identity to “fit in”.
