my real name is more beautiful and more meaning than my 'white' name
ldl200 saidcould you imagine an asian dude named Shaquille, DeAndre, or an asian girl named Ebony or Juana....sadly enough, of course when people from other countries come to the US...the first names they want to grab are those popular with white folks. everyone wants to be white, right?

Why do Asians have American first names instead Asian first names?
Hapuna saidProbably language differences; they don't want to hear their names being butcheredA few Asians I used to work with told me it's actually disrespectful in their culture to butcher someone's name, and that's why they have Americanized pseudonyms.
