Either stick to your Asian name for all legal purposes, or have a "common English name" for all legal purposes, but don't mix them up. I can just imagine someone like Jindal signing up as "Bobby" at the DMV without having legally changed his name from "Piyush," and then getting in trouble at the border for his driver's license not matching his passport or something else.<BR/><BR/>I personally favor keeping one's birth name instead of changing it to assimilate, but I don't really care what you do so long as it is consistent.PGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09381347581328622706noreply@blogger.com
