He's middle eastern right? If so, I totally get why.

Yep. His Arab name is only short and you say it how it's spelt but hey whatever gets you the job.

Exactly. I love my name but it is what it is for the moment.

Choose a name with the same number of syllables, the same hard sounds and if possible the same end. That way you will respond in a natural way when your name is called.

for example. Hasim becomes James/Jim
