Damn. I'm a second gen Indian and this makes total sense. I may do an experiment and go with a western name just to see what happens. But then I'm reminded of all the other Asians who do that and think isn't it a little odd for an Asian to be named Winston Chang and more normal for something like wu Xi or something. Or maybe that's too nomenclature-normative and we should be more agnostic to the orientation of someone's chosen name
