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
That's a great idea!
Names are precious. Keep your real name for with your loved ones , in private of course.
They're more likely to go with Harry or Sam
