[Opinions] Re: Sigalit
in reply to a message by Cayden
i'm relieved that somebody at least understands!
and i completely understand why some people wouldn't want to use a foreign name for the reason you said. i myself used to be a little annoyed at my family for giving so much of us such hard names (i would've been named Csaba if i was a boy...imagine...), and thought that if i had kids in the US, i'd use simper names. now, while i wouldn't use sounds/letters that don't exist in English (ex. Zd- or Cs-), i think that i don't want to limit myself for the sake of people who can't take the two seconds to try to learn. especially since i plan to live in a city, not a suburb like where i grew up (where Spanish names got butchered despite there being so many people with Spanish names! geez).
