For those who were born out of United States and have moved here, do you guys have an American name?
And if yes, then what do you prefer people calling you? I have three friends and they aren't from America and they have their own names. This one girl I switch around, and this other girl i call her by the name that she had since 3rd grade. But this one guy has an American name but he doesn't really like it, but everyone already knows him as that name so he can't change it. So what do you call people by? |

well..i was born in the U.S. and i was born Grace so i go by grace..but my foreign name is Ting Ting..which no one calls me..but if i were in taiwan...theyd call me by my taiwanese nickname...which is different from the above..
alot of ppl at my school have foreign names..for example...id be talking about my friend David..and his/my friends would be like..wait..which..u mean Dai Wei? and its really confusing b/c some ppl know him by his chinese name and others his english name..so theyre like..i dont know a david but i know a Wei Dai. so its confusing when someone uses both of their names in school..and were talking about the same ppl w/o even realizing it.. haha..and there was this comedian the other day who was making fun of ppl who use 2 names..and theyre nothinngg like each other..."hey, my real name is Zhang Du Wang, but you can call me Herbert" loll |
