Discussion:

• What does your name mean?
• Have you ever felt pressured to adopt a Western name? Why or why not?
• How did adopting (or choosing not to adopt) a Western name affect your sense of identity?
• If you chose a Western name, how did you ‘translate’ or adapt your ethnic name?

Looking forward to an engaging discussion!
