Mr. Kimble :
I'm in my 40s now and have looked up the kids I knew in elementary school whose names had been westernized and I'm so happy when I find them and they're now going by their real name as an adult. makes me sad that their identity was taken from them during their childhood, though. 😔

Had a friend named Zdravko in middle school who every teacher tried doing this with. He said sure as long as he got to call the teacher whatever he wanted. Zdravko wasn’t called in a lot 😭

This is somewhat normal when people with names that have phonetic pronunciations in one language live in an area where pronunciations are different.

Stillh20? :
Why do people not know how to pronounce names or words based on the letters it has? Do people just not know how certain sound combinations work?
