Jaamac to Jamie: Why not Anglicize your name?

[DubatDiaries]

They butcher/shorten my name and its so easy to pronounce. But can't lie I butcher their names too. E.g, if some dudes magaac is jameson I say JAMASON. I also butcher Sean a lot too ik its Shawn but idk why my brain says Seen.

The thing is, you are both speaking English. You being unable to pronounce their 'English name' is not the same, just makes you bad at the language you supposedly speak.

I 100% agree that these non cadaan people who change their names to cadaan names (or their parents gave them cadaan names) are not truly respected.

I have a couple African friends whose parents gave them Anglo names (I guess to fit in) and cadaans always ask them what their actual name is lmao.

Our names need to match our faces

Not really? Though when I'm very tired I tend to butcher stuff a lot. Need more sleep.
