hi T.

have not followed this threat recently, just happen to
scan thru this msg. Can't resist to throw my 2 cent in.

there may be a good reason to change the first name, ie, for
the sake of convenience. for example don't have to spell-out
your name every time someone asking for your name. Even better,
in case you send your resume for employment. Maybe i'm wrong but
i feel you have better chance if you have a name that American
is familiar with. Hope you got the point.
